Reading Comprehension:
The African American painter Jacob Lawrence has frequently used the series format as a
way to tell a story. As in narrative series painted by such earlier masters as Giotto,
Goya, Daumier, and Orozco, the images on different panels in Lawrence’s series are
designed with a deliberate continuity of style and color. The strength of the series
resides in the way the panels reinforce and enhance each other visually and
dramatically. Lawrence differs from earlier series painters not in the narrative power of
the series, but in the kinds of subjects he chooses to dramatize. In choosing topics for
his series, Lawrence often takes inspiration from the stories his community tells about
its heritage. His series Harriet Tubman (1939-40), for example, recounts the story of the
escaped slave who helped liberate over 300 slaves through the Underground Railroad. In
this series and others, Lawrence provides a prose caption for each painting, often
written in a storytelling style reminiscent of the African American oral tradition.

71. The author refers to Orozco in the course of


(A) accounting for Lawrence’s choice of topics for his series
(B) explaining Lawrence’s frequent use of the series format
(C) relating Lawrence’s works to a larger tradition of series painting
(D) introducing a new method of interpreting, the works of African American artists
(E) offering examples of painters who created nonnarrative series

72. The passage presents information about all of the following topics EXCEPT
(A) the types of subjects that Lawrence uses as the bases of his series
(B) the approximate number of panels that Lawrence uses in a series
(C) relationships between panels within Lawrence’s series
(D) the style in which Lawrence’s captions are written
(E) other painters who have worked with the series format

73. The primary purpose of the passage is to


(A) assess an accepted viewpoint about an artist’s works
(B) explain an apparent stylistic ambiguity contained in an artist’s works
(C) propose an innovative way of analyzing a group of works by an artist
(D) provide an overview of an artist’s use of a particular format
(E) describe changes in an artist’s content and format in the development of a group
of works

74. According to the passage. Lawrence’s series differ most widely from those of some
earlier painters in which of the following aspects?
(A) Source of this content depicted an the panels
(B) Continuity of style among panels
(C) Reinforcement of visual effect from panel to panel
(D) Congruity of color among panels
(E) Mutual dramatic enhancement among panels
75. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the African American
oral tradition?
(A) It provides a linguistic model for the way in which the panels in Lawrence’s series
are distinguished from one another.
(B) Its stories have been used as the basis for many painting series, not merely those
by Lawrence.
(C) It is reflected in the captions of at least some of Lawrence’s series.
(D) Its influence is found more in Lawrence’s series than in his other works.
