Book Description
As the debut volume in the highly anticipated David C. Driskell Series of African American Art, “Charles White” sets a remarkable standard for the other
volumes to follow. Filled with drawings and paintings - many of which have never been published before - and scholarly text by Andrea D. Barnwell, this monograph encapsulates the spirit, vision, and extraordinary brilliance of
White's powerful art.
Barnwell discusses White's regard as an artist and chronicles his career as he pursued artistic excellence, personal integrity, economic
freedom, and racial equality. One of the greatest American artists of the twentieth century, Charles White and his place in the annals of art history has not previously been adequately examined. This book is an important step
in ensuring the legacy of this seminal artist and singular man.
