OVER THE LINE: The Art and Life of Jacob Lawrence

Edited with an Introduction by Peter T. Nesbitt and Michelle DuBois

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. 326 pages

Matted and Framed Reproduction of Renoir’s Luncheon of the Boating Party

Duncan Phillips, who opened the Phillips Memorial Gallery to the public late in 1921, saw Luncheon of the Boating Party in a New York exhibition in early 1923. That summer, Duncan Phillips and his wife, the artist Marjorie Phillips purchased the painting in Paris. Duncan Phillips proudly wrote back to Washington from Paris that he had acquired "one of the greatest paintings in the world." It became the cornerstone of what Phillips called "a museum of modern art and its sources," The Phillips Collection.

This 33 ½ in x 27 ½ in reproduction is double matted in cream and navy blue with shell fillet in an exquisite gold antiqued frame.
