Reviews
YA-Full-color, full-page reprints of the 60 dramatic paintings of Lawrence's "Migration Series" fill half the pages of this catalog for the traveling exhibition. The text includes essays by various historians who relate the series to the time period and supply critical material about the painter's work. Quotations from Lawrence himself are particularly meaningful. Excellent black-and-white reproductions illustrate the historical and cultural part of the book and include a portrait of the artist. Beautifully printed and illustrated, the book will be useful for art classes or YAs interested in black history.
