Paperback. Condition: Like New. Flat signed by Jacob Lawrence on title page. From the library of Dr. Ralph Gomes, Howard University. Softcover. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Light creasing. Clean, unmarked pages. Dr. Gomes was a professor at Howard University for 49 years in sociology and criminology. He was also a f…ormer Olympic athlete, representing Guyana in the 1960 Rome summer Olympics. Besides his scholarly work, Gomes was active in the black liberation movement. He had an impressive and deep collection of black art, historical advertising and iconography that spoke of the passage of black people and how they sought to record their life stories. His collection spanned from slavery, to antebellum life, to Jim Crow, to the Harlem Renaissance, to sport, to the civil rights movement. "Jacob Armstead Lawrence was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1917. The son of Southern migrants, he moved with his mother and sister to Harlem in 1930 at age 13. There, during his participation in community art workshops, Lawrence quickly discovered his love of art through the encouragement of teachers such as painter Charles Alston. Throughout the 1930s, Lawrence's art was inspired by the cultural visionaries of the Harlem Renaissance. In 1938, Lawrence had his first solo exhibition at the Harlem YMCA and started working for the WPA Federal Art Project. In 1940, he received a grant from the Rosenwald Foundation to create a 60-panel epic, The Migration of the Negro (now known as The Migration Series); when the series was exhibited at Edith Halpert's Downtown Gallery the following year, the then 23-year-old artist catapulted to national acclaim. In the ensuing decades, Lawrence continued to create paintings drawn from the African American experience as well as historical and contemporary themes, such as war, religion, and civil rights. He taught with Josef Albers at Black Mountain College in North Carolina in 1946 and later at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. He moved to Seattle in 1971, teaching at the University of Washington until 1983. During his later years, Lawrence worked in a variety of media, including large-scale murals, silkscreen prints, and book illustrations. Until his death in 2000, Lawrence honed a unique visual language of abstraction that remained steeped in the human condition." - Phillips Collection This is an oversized or heavy book, which requires additional postage for international delivery outside the US.

Limited Edition. One of 1,500 numbered copies specially bound and signed by all contributors, this being copy no.573. Quarto (32.75cm); full black aniline leather, with title embossed onto front cover; all edges stained black; publisher's original black cloth slipcase; unpaged; illustrated throughout with eight silkscreen prints… by Jacob Lawrence, printed in 11 colors, each with an interleaved tissue guard. Fine in a Near Fine slipcase, with some light external wear, and some minor separation to the inner cloth lining around the lower opening. A masterful production by The Limited Editions Club of Hersey's 1946 book, chronicling the stories of six survivors of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Hersey's work comprised the entirety of the August 31, 1946 issue of The New Yorker, and was subsequently published in book format a few months later by Alfred A. Knopf. In addition to a new afterword by the author, and a poem by Robert Penn Warren ("New Dawn: Hiroshima"), this edition features eight full-page silkscreen prints by renown African American painter Jacob Lawrence. In his artist's note, he mentioned going into mental retreat after reading the book. "Because this book is such a strong statement of man's inhumanity to man, I found this work to be a most challenging book to illustrate. In my attempt to meet the challenge, I read and reread Hiroshima several times and, in doing so, I began to see the great devastation in the twisted and mutilated bodies of humans, birds, fishes and all the other animals and living things that inherit our earth. The flora and the fauna and the land that were at one time alive, were now seared, mangled, deformed and devoid of life. And I thought, what have we accomplished over these many centuries? We have produced great geniuses in music, the sciences, the arts, dance, literature, architecture and oratory among many other disciplines. And we have in the meantime developed the means to destroy, in a most horrible manner, that life that is our God-given right." LEC Bibliography No.535.
