notes: label: Description
content: This silkscreen print depicts three individual figures with building implements in their hands. The figures and their clothing are formed by blocks of bright color. The middle figure, shown from the shoulders up, holds a hammer in his left hand and is passing a compass to a second individual with his right hand. The second figure, shown from the back, carries a saw in his right hand. The third figure, standing at the left margin, holds a hand drill. Behind the figures is a black arch in a red wall. Within the black arch is a red field with patches of green, yellow, black and brown. Surrounding the figures are geometric shapes in black, grey, and red. The print has a wide white margin. Under the bottom left corner of the image is a circular, abstract chopmark and the numbers "44/135" handwritten in pencil. Below the bottom right corner is the artist's signature "Jacob Lawrence - 2000” handwritten in pencil.
