Jacob Lawrence (September 7, 1917 â June 9, 2000) was an African-American painter known for his portrayal of African-American life. Lawrence referred to his style as dynamic cubism , though by his own account the primary influence was not so much French art as the shapes and colors of Harlem.
Lawrence received a Guggenheim Foundation grant to paint the War series in 1946 and 1947, and in 1947 Fortune Magazine commissioned him to do ten paintings examining postwar conditions in the American south. His next major series was Struggle: From the History of the American People, produced in 1955-56.
