At the end of August, longtime The Mitchell Gallery Director Hydee Schaller retired after 30 years leading the gallery. Under her guidance, the annual number of gallery visitors grew from 5,000 to 13,000, and she led the gallery through an arduous accreditation process that enabled the Mitchell to partner with powerful museums across America—and made the Mitchell Gallery the only accredited college art museum in Maryland. We spoke with Hydee about how she ended up at St. John’s, her favorite exhibitions, and her gratitude for the entire gallery community; read more: https://www.sjc.edu/news/mitchell-gallery-director-retires-after-30-years-success

Toussaint L’Ouverture series by Jacob Lawrence
October 7–November 17, 2020
Online exhibition.

This collection of prints is based on 41 tempera paintings from a series by the same name completed in 1938. Lawrence received his inspiration from C.L.R. James’ book, The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L’Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution (1938), a widely acclaimed history of the Haitian Revolution regarded as a seminal text in the study of the African diaspora.

Toussaint L’Ouverture was the commander-in-chief of the Haitian army who led the slave rebellion into a revolutionary movement against Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1800 L’Ouverture helped draw up Haiti’s first democratic constitution, but he was arrested by Napoleon’s troops and sent to Paris, where he died in prison in 1803. L’Ouverture is known as the “Father of Haiti.”

The works are on loan courtesy of the collection of Alitash Kebede of Los Angeles, CA. The exhibition and museum tour are organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions of Los Angeles, CA.

“Jacob Lawrence—Three Series of Prints: Genesis | Toussaint L’Ouverture | Hiroshima” is made possible through the generosity of the Maryland State Arts Council and the Mitchell Gallery Board of Advisors.

Jacob Lawrence—Three Series of Prints:
Genesis | Toussaint L’Ouverture | Hiroshima
September 2—December 18, 2020

Since his first published print in 1963, Jacob Lawrence (1917—2000) produced a body of prints that is both highly dramatic and intensely personal. In his graphic work, as in his paintings, Lawrence has turned to the lessons of history and his own experience. From depictions of civil rights confrontations to scenes of daily life, these images present a vision of a common struggle toward unity and equality, and a universal struggle deeply seated in the depths of the human consciousness. This exhibition features 31 graphic works created between 1983 and 1997 and includes his “Genesis” series of eight prints, 10 prints from the “Toussaint L’Ouverture” series, and his “Hiroshima” series of eight prints, and a collection of five other of Lawrence's most significant prints.

The works are on loan courtesy of the collection of Alitash Kebede of Los Angeles, CA. The exhibition and museum tour are organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions of Los Angeles, CA.

Jacob Lawrence Genesis Series

Hear Art Educator Lucinda Edinberg on Jacob Lawrence's Genesis series. This video will be available through October 6, 2020.

Based on biblical texts and his own memory of the Sunday sermons of the Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, Sr. at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, New York, Jacob Lawrence’s “Genesis” series provides a richly personal interpretation. The bright colors and the expressive, monumental preacher figure that stands central in each work reflect the artist’s affinity for action and resonance given in the sermon. Inspired by realism and details of iconography, these silkscreen prints also reveal Lawrence’s interest in references from art history and, together with a universally celebrated narrative, provides an important voice to American art and artists.

The works are on loan courtesy of the collection of Alitash Kebede of Los Angeles, CA. The exhibition and museum tour are organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions of Los Angeles, CA.

Our Fall 2020 online exhibition titled “Jacob Lawrence—Three Series of Prints: Genesis | Tousaint L’Ouverture | Hiroshima” will feature the silkscreen works of African American artist Jacob Lawrence (1917–2000). Jeff Landau, director of Landau Traveling Exhibitions, has been kind enough to supply images for our online show of 31 works from the Alitash Kebede Collection.

Lawrence is known for his dramatic and personal perspective on historical events and everyday life, as well as narratives of historical figures and African American history. Lawrence first gained national recognition for his 60-panel “The Migration” series, a narrative of the African American migration from the rural south to the urban north.

The works included in our exhibition are based upon texts: the Book of Genesis, C.R.L. James’ The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L’Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution, and John Hersey’s 1946 narrative for The New Yorker, “Hiroshima.” Lawrence’s works are included in all of the major institutions across the country, including the Phillips Collection, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and other public and private collections.

We have a full roster of events to accompany the exhibition, including lectures for each series, book club meetings, a family event, and other activities. Some online events may require a registration, but are free of charge. Some events are members only.

We will feature one series each month, beginning with “Genesis.”

“I was baptized in the Abyssinian Baptist Church [in Harlem] in about 1932. There I attended church, I attended Sunday school, and I remember the ministers giving very passionate sermons pertaining to the Creation. This was over fifty years ago, and you know, these things stay with you even though you don't realize what an impact these experiences are making on you at the time. As I was doing the series I think that this was in the back of my mind, hearing this minister talk about these things" ~Jacob Lawrence
