Essays by Steven Locke, Elizabeth Hutton Turner, Austen Barron Bailly, and Lydia Gordon mark the historic reunion of this series--seen together in this exhibition for the first time since 1958. In entries on the panels, a multitude of voices responds to the episodes representing struggle from American history that Lawrence chose to activate in his series. \u003ci\u003eThe American Struggle\u003c\/i\u003e reexamines Lawrence's lost narrative and its power for twenty-first century audiences by including contemporary art and artists. Derrick Adams, Bethany Collins, and Hank Willis Thomas invite us to reconsider history through themes of struggle in ways that resonate with Lawrence's artistic invention. Statements by these artists amplify how they and Lawrence view history not as distant period of the past but as an active imaginative space that is continuously questioned in the present tense and for future audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe publication accompanies the nationally touring exhibition \u003ci\u003eJacob Lawrence: The American Struggle\u003c\/i\u003e on view at the Peabody Essex Museum from January 18 to April 26, 2020, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from June 2 to September 7, 2020, the Birmingham Museum of Art, Birmingham, Alabama, from October 17, 2020, to January 10, 2021, the Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, from February 25 to May 31, 2021, and the Phillips Collection, Washington, DC, from June 26 to September 19, 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 12.6 x 9.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 15, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754135355680,"sku":"9780295747040","price":48.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/9dee48f46adb3a0ad621136cf4b952bb.webp?v=1780034168","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/jacob-lawrence-the-american-struggle-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
