Known for his meticulous research into the social history of African Americans, Jacob Lawrence (1917–2000) was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, but he spent most of his childhood in Harlem. As a teenager he enrolled in the Harlem Art Workshop, where he met James Lesesne Wells, the director of the program, and Charles Alston, who nourished Lawrence's interest in art.

He joined the Artists Union and the Harlem Artists, associations that inspired his selection of the history and social composition of African Americans as the subject matter of his art.

Jacob Lawrence
2007 - wall calendar

One of America’s most acclaimed painters, Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) was raised in Harlem during the Depression and was mentored in his youth by notable figures from the Harlem Renaissance. Jacob Lawrence won national attention with Fortune magazine’s 1941 publication of his powerful Migration series--inspired by the massive twentieth-century exodus of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North--then became the first black artist to be represented by a major commercial gallery. This calendar’s twelve superb Jacob Lawrence images include The Evangelist, Cafe Comedian, and Radio Repairs.
