The Academy Art Museum’s Atrium and Calvert Galleries are featuring an exhibition of 15 Jacob Lawrence prints, on display
June 3 through 12, generously lent from DC Moore Gallery in New York. These prints are based on 41 paintings from a series also entitled Toussaint L’Ouverture, which was completed in 1938 and currently in the Amistad Research Center in New Orleans.
From 1986–1997, Lawrence reworked and distilled the series while translating them to silkscreen, disseminating the remarkable story of Haitian leader Toussaint L’Ouverture in a succinct, but dramatic fashion.
Admission to the Museum is $3 for non–members, children under 12 admitted free.
The Museum is open Monday and Friday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
with extended hours on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday hours are 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
The First Friday of each month, the Museum is open until 7 p.m.
The Museum is located at 106 South St., Easton, MD, 21601.
