Home/Auctions/January 6, 2022/Jacob Lawrence The Migration Series Panel No. 57 - The female workers were the last to arrive north. Bunting Note: Lawrence began painting the Migration of Black Americans in 1940, it was his most ambitious project to date, amplifying his earlier genre scenes and historical series on Toussaint L’Ouverture, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Tubman. Broad in scope and dramatic in exposition, this depiction of blacks moving from the rural South to the industrialized North to find jobs, better housing, and freedom from oppression was a subject he associated with his parents. The artist recalled hearing how newly arrived families would receive a helping hand: “The people in the neighborhood would collect clothes for these newcomers and pick out coals that hadn’t completely burned in the furnace to get them started.” 20 x 28
