On November 20, the BMA will open Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle, an exhibition featuring the series of paintings Struggle…From the History of the American People (1954-56) by the iconic American modernist. The exhibition reunites the multi-paneled work for the first time in more than half a century.

Crawford, The William Cary Hulsey Curator of American Art, who is curating the exhibition at the BMA, for a conversation introducing the series with the exhibition’s curator Austen Barron Bailly, formerly of the Peabody Essex Museum and now Chief Curator at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Participants will have the opportunity to include a question when registering that may be included in the preceding Q&A discussion.
