Jacob Lawrence is one of the foremost African-American visual artists. He is best known for his modernist images about
the shared experiences of African Americans during the early to mid-twentieth century, such The Migration of the Negro
series and his series of narrative paintings and prints devoted to abolitionists Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman. He studied art in New
York during the 1930s and ended his teaching career at University of Washington later in his career. In Memorabilia, the interior of a
storeroom is filled with objects that make reference to landmark events in African American history and symbols of African American culture. For example, the triumphant figure of Harriet Tubman is on the top shelf. In
the lower section, he includes a jazz band and a scene of charging troops. The man in the center holds two African carvings. Together, these figures and objects represent Lawrence's vision of the "memorabilia" of
African American history. The primary colors, flatness and lack of detail that contribute to the impact of this print are typical of his style. |
