Jacob Lawrence: An Intimate Portrait, 1993 | From the Vaults

[@PoeCommunicateATL]

I profiled him in 1995 when I was a reporter for the Chicago Tribune. He was kind, talented and beyond brilliant!

Thanks so much posting this. Jacob Lawrence was an amazing artist, but also an amazing person. I wish I could have met him.

This man's work had/has the ability to turn up the volume on vision!

Wow I've never known about this wonderful man and his art. I'm excited about learning and seeing more.

Stylized Suffering. Oppression Deco. Honorable Illustration. These are the words that come to my mind. This work is incredibly unique and beautiful. The subject matter grabs your attention and the details hold on to it.

I have a signed limited print by Mr. Lawrence. Met him at his Brooklyn Museum reception in the late 80’s!

His illustrations for John Hersey's "Hiroshima" published by the Limited Editions Club are amazingly powerful.
