The artist's socially engaged and story-rich works draw on the legacy of social realism and Mexican muralism. Inspired by the ethos of the Harlem Renaissance, Lawrence depicted icons of black liberation such as Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, but also the mid-century Harlem community at large. Lawrence became one of the first black artists to be represented by a traditional gallery in central New York.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlympic Games - Cubism\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders - Athletics - Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good condition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lawrence Jacob","offers":[{"title":"100 x 64 \/ A+","offer_id":41595068154041,"sku":null,"price":750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/products\/AP_04860Insta2.jpg?v=1648740332"},{"product_id":"ap_23592","title":"Olympische Spiele Munchen 1972","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"124\" data-end=\"484\"\u003eCreated for the 1972 Munich Olympics, this powerful original poster by renowned American artist Jacob Lawrence stands as a compelling intersection of sport, art, and identity.

A group of Black relay runners, captured mid-sprint and in full stride, surges toward the finish line. Lawrence flattens the perspective and fragments the forms, using bold blocks of color and angular dynamism to convey momentum, determination, and unity. The figures are muscular and stylized, their limbs overlapping like gears in a machine built for speed and purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"902\" data-end=\"1272\"\u003eLawrence, long known for his depictions of African American life and history, imbues the piece with a deeper resonance.
