Published in collaboration with the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah  Georgia  Jacob Lawrence: Lines of Influence explores the life  work  and legacy of Lawrence not only as an artist but as an educator and chronicler of the mid-twentieth-century African American experience. The book is arranged in two parts. The first  Relations  traces the interactions that shaped Lawrences personal and professional life. It presents his work in dialogue with that of his contemporaries  mentors  and historically significant artists  such as Josef Albers  Richmond Barth  Romare Bearden  Jos Clemente Orozco  George Grosz  Marsden Hartley  Gwendolyn Knight Lawrence  Horace Pippin  and Augusta Savage. The second  Legacy  explores Lawrences own influence on contemporary artists who share similar formal and conceptual strategies and includes commissioned works by artists influenced and inspired by Lawrence  such as Derrick Adams  Meleko Mokgosi  Barbara Earl Thomas  and Hank Willis Thomas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960321105973,"sku":"ByrdShop_3858818259","price":98.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783858818256.jpg?v=1788284867","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/jacob-lawrence-lines-of-influence-9783858818256","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
