Jacob Lawrence : Dreams no. 2, 1965 tempera on fiberboard 35.75 x× 24 in | 90.8 × 61.0 cm Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC Further description in the alt text 👇
The Subject:
Inspired by the resilient women of his Harlem neighborhood (including his own mother), Lawrence depicts a young woman resting on a chair.

The Windows:
She sits positioned in front of two large windows, which act as a conceptual bridge between her reality and her subconscious mind

Window 1:
Features a tall, elegant lady standing with a bouquet of flowers.

Window 2:
Features a bride and groom dancing amidst thrown confetti.

Symbolism:
While windows typically offered a literal view into the lively brownstone streets of New York, Lawrence positions the wedding couple in an outside landscape, transforming the window frames into metaphorical screens projecting the young woman’s inner fantasies and aspirations.
