Socially conscious, politically active, inspirational: Charles White was one of the most influential African-American artists and celebrated draftsman working in the twentieth century. Best known for depicting people of color in both heroic, and realistic ways, White’s portraits reinforced the dignity, humanity, and beauty of the black figure. Rockland Center for the Arts (RoCA) is proud to present for its 75th Anniversary year, Charles White: Influences, an exhibition in partnership with the Gordon Center for Black Culture & Arts and the CEJJES Institute. Works by Charles White, those who influenced him and students he influenced.
