Catalog Note:
In 1982, Sidney Shiff, owner of the Limited Editions Club in New York, commissioned Jacob Lawrence to create illustrations for a book of his choice. John Hersey's Hiroshima was selected. It is an extraordinary account of six survivors of the first atomic bomb attack. Lawrence created a series of eight powerfully visual paintings inspired by Hersey's words. This bound volume contains eight color screenprints created from those paintings.
