SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.- Artist Gwendolyn Knight Lawrence, 91, died in Seattle, reported The Seattle Times. She was the wife of the late painter Jacob Lawrence. She was an expressionistic painter with a strong interest in people. She developed a sense of design using a brilliant palette of bright greens, reds and blues over the past seventy years. As an artist on one of the federal government’s Depression-era public art projects, Knight met her husband Jacob Lawrence in 1937. They lived in New York City until 1970 when they moved to Seattle. Each maintained their own artistic style, while their humanist interests created a strong intellectual bond. For most of her career Knight painted people who posed for her at home or in various studio settings and recreated scenes from the various neighborhoods in which she lived. More recently, Knight engaged printmaking.
