Provenance: acquired from Keyes Art, New York, Carol Walter, New York; thence by descent, private collection, New York. Chicago based painter and printmaker Claude Lawrence is largely a self-taught artist who began his career as a jazz musician.

In New York, he befriended artists Fred Brown, Lorenzo Pace, Jack Whitten, Joe Overstreet and Bob Blackburn, whom he later joined to study printmaking at the Printmakers Workshop from 1992 - 1993. He exhibited in galleries in Sag Harbor and Riverhead, New York in the 1990s, and had a solo exhibition at the Montclair University, Montclair, NJ in 1997. He has experienced a recent revival with a solo exhibition at Gerald Peters Gallery in 2015. In addition, his artworks have been accepted into several museum collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery, the Parrish Art Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Studio Museum in Harlem.
