A Conversation w/ Randall Griffey on Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle

Please join us Thursday, August 27 from 6-7 pm EDT as Dr. Randall Griffey, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, discusses the upcoming exhibition “Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle.” Opening to the public on August 29 at the Met, this exhibition reunites 26 of the 30 panels Lawrence created for his series “Struggle: From the History of the American People” (1954-56). The works have not been shown together since their creation.

Panel 7: Siege, depicting defeated soldiers after battle during the Revolutionary War, is part of the historic collection at the Renee & Chaim Gross Foundation.

Organized by the Peabody Essex Museum, the exhibition will travel to multiple cities across the country through 2021. We look forward to you joining us for this conversation followed by Q&A. The event is free with RSVP required.
