Of the many interviews Jacob Lawrence granted over his lifetime, the two filmed (and until now unpublished) interviews commissioned by The Phillips Collection in 1992 and in 2000 are perhaps most distinguished by their primacy and recency in the archive of Lawrence scholarship and exhibition history. The October 2, 1992, interview was the first to focus exclusively on the Migration Series; the 2000 interview, done in preparation for his last lifetime retrospective, was, in fact, the artist’s last such conversation.
