Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle

JACOB LAWRENCE: THE AMERICAN STRUGGLE was published to accompany a nationally touring exhibition, currently on view at the Seattle Art Museum. The book is centered on a 30-panel series that Lawrence created from 1954-56, at the start of civil rights movement. The epic paintings are a pictorial documentation reflecting American history and the founding struggles of a nation that still resonates profoundly today. This multi-authored catalogue examines Lawrence’s work through diverse perspectives.
