Jacob Lawrence, Supermarket--Gifts for the Homeless (1994)

This collection groups workbook pieces on the theme of homelessness.

The pieces are discrete. There's no inner structure or implied narrative. These aren't frames from a film.

I think of this work as analogous to Cubism. The Cubists implied three dimensional objects by juxtaposing multiple two-dimensional planes depicting the object from different points of view. These pieces are those planes; the object is homelessness.
