Over the Line: The Art and Life of Jacob Lawrence

Over the Line: The Art and Life of Jacob Lawrence includes essays by eight distinguished art historians examining the ways in which Jacob Lawrence´s art speaks so powerfully to different audiences. It is the first multi-author, in-depth probe of the artist´s entire career: the nature of his work, his education, the critical climate in which he worked, and his use of materials and techniques. It reproduces, in full color, more than 200 works, most of which have not been published in color, or at all, in other books on the artist.
