Inspired by Jacob Lawrence

Combining Cubism and Social Realism, painter Jacob Lawrence captured African American life in the 20th century. Both abstract and incisive, Lawrence’s paintings brought Black subjects, their struggles, and their histories to the fore. In honor of his birthday, explore a selection of figurative works by contemporary Black artists inspired by Lawrence’s vivid paintings.
