One of the Greatest American artists of the twentieth century, Charles White (1918-1979) -- with amazing spirit, vision, and brilliance -- devoted both his life and work to portraying the African American community. With pencil and brush, in black and white or in color, he captured not only the poverty, strife, and despair of the black people but their strength of community, the joy of enlightenment, and the tenderness of kinship as well, rejecting the usual stereotypes of black people as inferior. His canvases, woodcuts, monumental drawings, and murals convey his strong social consciousness and impart the inherent dignity of his subjects. Trained in the rudiments of realism, White rejected the current vogue and instead focused on what he considered the most relevant to the human condition. The black people in White's works were the heroes or the heroines, or society's discards; the artist always strove to educate his people about their multifaceted culture and their history. His 1940 WPA mural, Progress of the American Negro (Five Great American Negroes), depicts five historical figures who overcame persecution. I've Been Buked presents the spiritual traditions of the African American people; J'Accuse, 1966, focuses on oppression in American society. The last mural White created -- Mary McLeod Bethune, 1978, one year before his death -- imparts the power of the strong woman who did so much for African American causes. Andrea Barnwell chronicles the highlights of White's career, discusses several of the artist's famous works, and introduces many works from private collections that never before have been examined. Although White's works are in the collections of major museum andlibraries, including Hampton University Museum, Hampton, Virginia; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Howard University Gallery of Art, Washington; the Art Institute of Chicago; and the Flint Institute of Art, his place in the annals of art history has never been fully realized. Charles White (The David C. Driskell Series of African American Art: Volume I is a major step in ensuring the legacy of this seminal artist.
