Review
Two impressions stand out. One is the terrifying obstinacy of racial injustice on the eve of the Second World War. The other is the moral grit that was needed to overcome it. In context, "Migration" appears as a hinge of the national consciousness: inward to the untold history of African-Americans and outward to the enlightenment of the wide world. It would not have worked were it not superb art, but it is. Melding modernist form and topical content, the series is both decorative and illustrative, and equally efficient in those fundamental, often opposed functions of painting.--Peter Schjeldahl "The New Yorker "
Lawrence used a deceptively simple structure - 60 small tempera paintings, each with its own caption - to tackle difficult political subjects, from bias in the criminal justice system to race riots in St. Louis. Many of the panels feel particularly resonant today.--Julia Halperin "The Art Newspaper "
Since 1941, when the renowned African-American painter Jacob Lawrence unveiled The Migration of the Negro, the 60-panel masterpiece has been divvied up between New York City's Museum of Modern Art and the Philips Collection in Washington, D.C., and has rarely been viewed in its entirety. For the first time in 20 years, the paintings-scenes from the decades-long exodus from the rural Jim Crow South to the industrial North-will be reunited at MOMA as the centerpiece of the can't-miss exhibition "One-Way Ticket: Jacob Lawrence's Migration Series and Other Visions of the Great Movement North."--The Editors "Details "
Dickerman describes the "Migration Series," fittingly, as a mode of history painting. The current century's catalogue of continuing violence against African Americans telegraphs that the structural inequality Lawrence documents is not confined to the past and that the "whole of America" has yet to absorb the lessons he aimed to teach.--Anne Monahan "CAA Reviews "
