War Series: Another Patrol 1946

"War Series: Another Patrol" (1946) by Jacob Lawrence depicts three African-American soldiers in uniform, marching up a ramp. The painting utilizes bold, geometric shapes and simplified forms, characteristic of Lawrence's style. The soldiers' stern expressions and the dominant blue tones evoke a sense of duty and sacrifice, highlighting the experience of Black Americans during World War II. This work is part of Lawrence's "War Series" (1942-1945), a series of sixty panels exploring the impact of the war on African Americans.
