Jacob Lawrence Painting, Missing for Decades, Is Found by Met Visitor

The panel by the renowned Black artist, part of his “Struggle” series, was last seen in 1960. But someone had a hunch where it was.

A 1956 painting by Jacob Lawrence that was believed to be missing for 60 years, from the “Struggle” series, depicts an uprising of American farmers in Massachusetts. It will go on public view Thursday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
