Jacob Lawrence: The Complete Prints, 1963-2000
Beginning with his first published print in 1963, Jacob Lawrence produced a body of prints that is both highly dramatic and intensely personal. This new edition of Jacob Lawrence : Thirty Years of Prints (1963-1993) includes 19 new prints produced by Lawrence since 1993, including 7 from the Toussaint L’Ouverture series. The book includes an essay by Patricial Hills.
In his graphic work, as in his paintings, Lawrence turned to the lessons of history and to his own experience. From depictions of civil rights confrontations to scenes of daily life, these images present a vision of a common struggle toward unity and equality, a universal struggle seated in the depths of the human consciousness.

Another one of my greatest influences is showing his skill at storytelling supreme.
Jacob Lawrence can tell a story with the most simplest of anatomical forms...
Its a gift that he explores over and over again, with great passion.
