This is a rare and compelling original exhibition poster for the legendary American artist Jacob Lawrence, promoting his "Paintings" exhibition at the Terry Dintenfass Gallery in New York City (March 25 – April 20).

The poster features a striking, high-contrast lithographic design in black and white with bold red typography. The central imagery is derived from Lawrence's Hospital series, specifically the work titled "The Long Staff." It depicts stylized, angular figures with heavy shadows and floating heads, characteristic of Lawrence’s unique "dynamic cubism" style. The composition captures the tension and emotional depth for which Lawrence is celebrated, particularly in his explorations of the African American experience and human struggle.

The Terry Dintenfass Gallery was a pivotal venue for Lawrence during the 1960s, making this an important piece of archival ephemera for collectors of Modern American art or Civil Rights era history.
