Jacob Lawrence may be best known for his Great Migration series of paintings, depicting the movement northward of millions of black Americans from the South in the early 20th century. But the artist himself was born in Atlantic City, after his own parents made the journey. And this week, the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah, Ga., will mark Lawrence’s 100th birthday on Thursday, Sept. 7, with the opening of “Lines of Influence,” an exhibition that traces both the sources of his inspiration and his enduring resonance with contemporary artists.

Filling three galleries at the museum, the exhibition will include works by many of Lawrence’s influences, like Josef Albers and Marsden Hartley. Several contemporary artists, including Hank Willis Thomas and Derrick Adams, created works as commissions for the show. And there will be pieces by Faith Ringgold and Kara Walker, among others inspired by Lawrence. Today’s migrations move in a different direction. (Through Feb. 4; scadmoa.org)
