  • The Black American artist Jacob Lawrence was born in Atlantic City, USA on the 7th September 1917. He was one of the most important American black artists of the 20th century, widely renowned for his modernist depictions of everyday life as well as epic paintings of African American history and historical figures. Born into a poor family his rise to artistic prominence was rapid. He was part of the Harlem Renaissance which was an intellectual revival of African American art and literature centred in Harlem, Manhattan, New York City around the 1920’s and 30’s. He had his first art exhibition at 18 and by 1941 New York’s Downtown gallery was exhibiting his paintings. He was one of the first black artists to be represented by a major gallery.
    He tended to work by creating a series of paintings on a theme; his most important series are the Life of Toussaint L’Ouverture, the black revolutionary general and founder of the Republic of Haiti. The Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman Series that explored the anti-slavery movement, and his most famous being, The Migration Series, inspired by the African-American Great Migration, the movement of 6 million black Americans out of the rural Southern United States to the industrial cities in the North and Midwest that occurred between 1916 and 1970’s. By 1949 Lawrence was the most prominent black artist in America.
    Jacob Lawrence also taught with his wife Gwendolyn Knight at the Black Mountain College in 1946 and was offered a professorship teaching art at the University of Washington, Seattle in 1971.
    In 1990 Jacob Lawrence received the National Medal of Arts from President George H.W. Bush.
    Jacob Lawrence is celebrated not only for his artistic achievements and the dramatic impact he had on succeeding generations of artists. But also, for several firsts, being one of the first Black American artists to achieve widespread, mainstream acclaim, and the first to be represented by a commercial gallery, the Downtown Gallery in New York. Jacob Lawrence was one of the few painters of his generation who grew up in a black community, to be taught primarily by black artists, and to be influenced by black people.

    I was lucky enough to have had personal tutorials with Jacob Lawrence who was then a Professor of Art at the University of Washington when I was a student there. He was the sweetest, most open person, very encouraging and supportive. I was in the middle of a verbal complaint with the Dean of the Art Department about a teacher who pretended to be able to know what art was and wasn't, and who was dismissing my efforts. In the midst of this discussion, Jacob stuck his head in the door and said, "I'll take him on (as his student)". We had twice weekly sessions together. I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with him.

      You are indeed very lucky to have worked with him. As you have recognised, it is very rare to find the two qualities of great artist and great teacher in one person. Jacob Lawrence had both qualities in abundance.

    Thank you for this insightful documentary. What surprises me most about Jacob Lawrence's art is the consistency throughout his long life. So many artists experiment with different styles through their career, Jacob's work was always dynamic, bold, graphic and thought provoking while while still capturing life around him and telling the story of the people he painted. Genius!

    While serving as an Institute of Museum and Library Services at Morgan State University, I was introduced to his work. The storytelling of his images is broken down to such a precise point of view is what struck me most. Thank you for sharing his work with the world. As a light sculptor from the Show Me state I find his use of solids and color combinations to be something I hope to achieve some day with my camera. Thanks again!!!

In the time that it took for me to watch this video, And to see 1 Modernist masterpiece after another, this man took the spot amongst the very top artists of the whole of the Modernist movement- imho. He stands shoulder- to- shoulder with Picasso, and rises above Many of his more famous contemporaries.
    His work is just Beautiful, and truly represents the Apex of Art. I'm blown away. Thanks for sharing this! 👍

    Brilliant job, Paul! While I had seen his Olympia piece before, I was not previously aware of his name, like some music I'm fond of from the 60s & 70s, which were my childhood years. Passionate and meaningful musical works, much like Lawrence's creations. What a blessing that he found a pro arts & diversity commander during his military service, who re-assigned him to live that tragic time out in his truth. Nigeria seems to have been exactly what the doctor ordered, precisely at the moment Lawrence most needed it. I'm glad he found a way to go and stay as long as suited him. Honors can indeed be a two-edged sword. I'm grateful he was so prolific and skilled so we have plenty of his work to enjoy and learn from. Have you considered including a link to his foundation in the description for this video or an artist resources page on your site? I look forward to more diverse artist coverage like this.

    Great, I did really enjoy this video. I don't know Jacob Lawrence's work though I must have seen some over the course of my lifetime. After this 'exposé' I hope I'll never NOT see it again if I'm in a gallery containing any. Where is there any in Britain? This merits another watch or two by me since I was constantly stopping to look at the photographs and paintings, occasionally, sadly,obscuring each other and both of equal interest.Well done for another great piece of informative video work in itself. I'd like to stand in front of some of these paintings.

    I like the use of color and movement in Lawrence's paintings and the revolutionary aspects of them which likely helped the cause of his black generation.

    TYsM for this episode on Jacob Lawrence. really sad, let down, & upsetting that i never heard this amazing artist's name, nor saw any of his paintings in any of the 4 Western Art History classes i took back in the day. i have learned more about 20th century pioneer artists from youtube smh. well, thankfully back then (late 90s) classes only cost $13/unit. amazing. i paid cash for my classes back then! 20 yrs doesnt seem like THaT long ago, but if i say i paid $40 per 3 credit course, one would guess more than 2 decades had passed.

    I see much of Pablo Picasso’s “Guernica” coming from Jacob Lawrence’s work.
    Picasso had been greatly influenced by Lawrence as well as other Black artists and African spiritual relics of sculptures and masks.
    Something Picasso was strained to share and enlighten the public about.

      Picasso was influenced by African art, particularly through his cubist period, but not by Lawrence I'm afraid, who wasn't born until long after the cubist period ended. Jacob Lawrence was only 19 when Guernica was painted and had not produced anything, by that age, of the significance of his later work, so I doubt Picasso was even aware of his existence. Cheers
