Within months of its making, the Migration Series was divided between The Museum of Modern Art (even-numbered panels) and the Phillips Memorial Gallery (odd-numbered panels). The work has since become a landmark in the history of African American art, a monument in the collections of both institutions and a crucial example of the way in which history painting was radically reimagined in the modern era. In 2015 and 2016, the panels will be reunited in exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art and at The Phillips Collection. This catalogue grounds Lawrence's Migration Series in the cultural and political debates that shaped the young artist's work and highlights its continued resonance for artists and writers today. An essay by Leah Dickerman situates the series within contemporary discussions about black history and an artist's social responsibilities in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Elsa Smithgall traces the acquisition and exhibition history of the Migration Series. Short commentaries on each panel explore Lawrence's career and technique, and the social history of the Migration. The catalogue also debuts ten poems commissioned from acclaimed poets that respond to the Migration Series. Elizabeth Alexander, honored as the poet at President Obama's first inauguration, introduces the section. 600 10 $a Lawrence, Jacob, $d 1917-2000. $t Migration series. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2015030142 600 10 $a Lawrence, Jacob, $d 1917-2000 $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a African Americans in art $v Exhibitions. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009113932 650 0 $a Rural-urban migration in art $v Exhibitions. 700 1 $a Smithgall, Elsa, $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2011000168 700 1 $a Alexander, Elizabeth, $d 1962- $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n88298598 700 12 $a Lawrence, Jacob, $d 1917-2000. $t Works. $k Selections. 710 2 $a Museum of Modern Art (New York, N.Y.), $e host institution. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79021281 710 2 $a Phillips Collection, $e host institution. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79046255 740 0 $a One-way ticket, Jacob Lawrence's Migration series and other works. 740 0 $a People on the move, beauty and struggle in Jacob Lawrence's Migration series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171220012630.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CB1EE7C0E55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
