Our Jacob Lawrence 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.

Exhibition through Friday! 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.

Alaina Simone, the founder of Alaina Simone Productions and a long-time champion of black voices in the art world, names five black women who are shaping culture and the arts for the future.
The Mitchell Gallery "concludes the online fall season with the last series of prints, “Hiroshima,” from the exhibition, “Jacob Lawrence: Three Series of Prints,” courtesy of Landau Traveling Exhibitions in Los Angeles. In 1982, Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) was commissioned by the Limited Editions Club in New York to create illustrations for a book of his choice.
Lawrence selected John Hersey’s “Hiroshima,” an account of six survivors of the atom bomb attack on Hiroshima in 1945 that appeared in the Aug. 31, 1946 magazine, “The New Yorker.” Lawrence created a series of eight paintings that were then converted to silkscreens. Lawrence’s re-interpretation of Hersey’s narrative is powerful and haunting and depicts scenes of everyday life. Lawrence purposely avoided identifying anyone by race or nationality, making the images universal for anyone at any time. Lawrence’s gallerist, Alitash Kebede, will speak for a live-stream interview and lecture at 3 p.m. on Dec. 13. Free and open to the public, access it through the Mitchell Gallery website. The exhibition will close on Dec. 18."

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. “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.
