With its strong artistry and universal theme, Jacob Lawrence's “The Lovers, 1946” has a powerful appeal. Raised in Harlem, Lawrence (1917 – 2000) painted scenes of African-American life and history in flattened, angular shapes and dazzling colors. A respected interpreter of African-American experiences, Lawrence was an important player in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1930s and 1940s. Recipient of the NAACP's Springarn Medal, Lawrence was the first African-American whose work was exhibited in New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
