| Knight and Lawrence at Black Mountain College, 1946. |
“In
our life together we share our opinions but reserve them until one or
the other of us is ready to discuss the work. Once we’ve commented on
each other’s work we are free to choose whether or not we make changes
based on those comments. There really is no pressure. Sometimes you
wouldn’t even understand a remark until years later.” —Jacob Lawrence
Knight and Lawrence married in 1941; they provided a constant source of
support and critical guidance for one another. One could describe their
partnership as a collaborative relationship, inspiring and stimulating
each other in their artistic endeavors. —from the Phillips Collection
