About Jacob Lawrence: Glory of Expression
A documentary about the life and work of Jacob Lawrence, one of America’s great painters, the first African-American to be represented by a New York City gallery.

Central to the documentary is the attention given to the emotional aspects of the process of creating art as well as the importance of motivation and determination for success.
