Jacob Lawrence, Painter (1917-2000)
|
|
Jacob Lawrence is known today as a storyteller artist. He is known for his many series of paintings about African-American history featuring the stories of people such Harriet Tubman, the abolitionist John Brown and Touissant L'Ouverture. As well as documenting history, his many paintings fulfill his desire to create long-lasting portraits of his own life, the people around him and Harlem, the community where he grew up.
