Re-presenting The Migration: Reproductions of Paintings by Jacob Lawrence Following WWI, hundreds of thousands of southern Black Americans migrated north with hopes of finding economic and social freedoms not available in the south. Farming conditions in the south were deteriorating and, while slavery had been abolished decades earlier, most southern Blacks were still living in poverty. In 1941, artist Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) created a 60-panel artwork, The Migration of the Negro, to record this poignant time in American history. Critics have called it Lawrence's greatest achievement, and hailed it as one of the great visual and social documents of 20th century American art. The Field Museum is pleased to announce that it will display reproductions of this famous and acclaimed work—all 60 paintings Temporary Exhibition For All Ages |
