Charles White - Biography
The drawings, paintings, and lithographs of Charles White capture "the vitality and poignancy of humankind ... for the eye to see and the heart to feel," wrote Benjamin Horowitz in Images of Dignity: The Drawings of Charles White. White`s images of the black experience are held in the collections of Atlanta University, Howard University, North Carolina Central University, the Whitney Museum, the Library of Congress, the Joseph H. Hirschhorn Collection, and the American Federation of the Arts, as well as museums in Mexico, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, South America, China, and the Soviet Union. "All of his art is a testimony to the vitality of American culture," Harry Belafonte wrote in the foreword to White`s 1967 book Images of Dignity. "And his art is tremendously American. He is an artist of world renown and ... this work has a universality which transcends the various schools of painting and which will withstand the merciless test of time and space from here to the very end of time."
