Jacob Lawrence (African American, 1917–2000). The Typists, 1966. Tempera and gouache on paper. © 2009 The Jacob and Gwendolyn Lawrence Foundation, Seattle / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. Photo Credit: The Jacob and Gwendolyn Lawrence Foundation / Art Resource, NY.

On page 351, Fabrizio describes the work habits, work-related postures, and VDT workstation of a woman with upper-extremity and neck pain. This painting—executed long before computers became integral not only to professional but to personal life—shows workers bending over the keys, fingers tense and extended, in a crowded office. The artist, who reportedly called his style “dynamic cubism,” constructs necks, elbows, wrists, desks, paper, floorboards, and file drawers in a flurry of right angles.
