Catalogue from the exhibition held at the Speed Art Museum, beginning February 2001. "The Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman series of 1938-40 are among Lawrence's greatest achievements as a painter. Including 32 and 31 images, respectively, the narratives document the struggles and heroic achievements of these two nineteenth-century Abolitionists. Executed in tempera, the images are remarkable in their simplicity, vivid color, boldly expressive style, and use of the series format to convey narrative content. Ellen Harkins Wheat, author of the catalog Jacob Lawrence: The Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman Series of 1938-40, describes the artist's work in this way. 'At times powerfully exquisite, at other times raw, even awkward, their rough magic and expressive strength speak to us through time of the often-neglected episodes of black American history and the black experience." In Lawrence's own words: "If at times my productions do not express the conventionally beautiful, there is always an effort to express the universal beauty of man's continuous struggle to lift his social position and to add dimension to his spiritual being.' The images include captions written by the artist, who thoroughly researched the two legendary figures before beginning work on the series. Throughout his career, Lawrence continued to focus on themes of human strife and determination. Although the Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman series were executed early in Lawrence's artistic development, the images remained dear to the artist throughout his lifetime and embody some of his strongest work." - from the museum's web site. The exhibition was organized by the Hampton University Art Museum, the institution that owns the works., Hampton University Museum, 1991
