Migration Series : ウィキペディア英語版 | Migration Series The Migration Series is a group of paintings by African-American painter Jacob Lawrence which depicts the migration of African Americans to the northern United States. Lawrence conceived of the series as a single work rather than individual paintings, and worked on all of the paintings at the same time, in order to give them a unified feel and to keep the colors uniform between panels. He wrote sentence-long captions for each of the sixty paintings explaining aspects of the event. Viewed in its entirety, the series creates a narrative, in both images and words that tells the story of the Great Migration. == Background == The series is based on the Great Migration of African Americans from the rural south to the urban north starting in the 1910s. The early part of the migration ran through 1930 and numbered some 1.6 million people. Lawrence himself had moved to Harlem when he was thirteen years old, having lived previously in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. His mother had been born in Virginia and his father in South Carolina, so he would have been personally familiar with the migration from members of his own family. Lawrence created the sixty paintings in the series in 1940-41.
