| Biography/History: | Jacob Lawrence, born Atlantic City, New Jersey, 1917, died Seattle, Washington, 2000 – Jacob Lawrence was an impassioned observer and storyteller whose art documented both the African American experience as well as the larger human struggle for freedom and social justice. He was raised in Harlem, and his works from the 1930s and 1940s capture the ever changing street life in gouache, watercolor, and tempera.
