Jacob Lawrence: Prints, 1963 – 2000, A Comprehensive Survey features more than 70 prints at the David C. Driskell Center at the University of Maryland, College Park. The exhibition is on view until December 17, 2010. Organized by DC Moore Gallery in New York City, the exhibition offers a thorough examination of Lawrence's prints, highlighting his artistic development over nearly forty years. One of the best-known twentieth century African American painters, Lawrence produced a body of prints that is both highly dramatic and intensely personal. The works presented in the exhibition depict the life of African Americans and often address themes of joy and suffering, equality and struggle, as well as justice, hope, and aspiration.
