Kunsthal KAdE will show the first ever retrospective in Europe of African-American artist Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) in the fall of 2025. Lawrence broke through in 1941 with his iconic painting series "The Great Migration," a series consisting of 60 panels that hangs half at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and half at the Phillips Collection in Washington. In it, he tells the story of the mass movement of black people from the South of the U.S. to the North. Throughout his oeuvre, Jacob Lawrence put African-American history at the center of his work. Jacob Lawrence developed his own autonomous painting style in the latter days of the Harlem Renaissance and is considered one of the most important African-American painters of the 20th century.
