Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
A revelatory reassessment of one of the most influential American artists of the 20th century Charles White (1918–1979) is best known for bold, large-scale paintings and drawings of African Americans, meticulously executed works that depict human relationships and socioeconomic struggles with a remarkable sensitivity. This comprehensive study offers a much-needed reexamination of the artist’s career and legacy. With handsome reproductions of White’s finest paintings, drawings, and prints, the volume introduces his work to contemporary audiences, reclaims his place in the art-historical narrative, and stresses the continuing relevance of his insistent dedication to producing positive social change through art. Tracing White’s career from his emergence in Chicago to his mature practice as an artist, activist, and educator in New York and Los Angeles, leading experts provide insights into White’s creative process, his work as a photographer, his political activism and interest in history, the relationship between his art and his teaching, and the importance of feminism in his work. A preface by Kerry James Marshall addresses White’s significance as a mentor to an entire generation of practitioners and underlines the importance of this largely overlooked artist.

Charles White
Author: Andrea Barnwell Brownlee
Publisher: Pomegranate
ISBN: 9780764921292
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
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.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 museums and libraries, 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 and His Descendants
The Black Chicago Renaissance
Author: Darlene Clark Hine
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252094395
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Beginning in the 1930s, Black Chicago experienced a cultural renaissance that lasted into the 1950s and rivaled the cultural outpouring in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. The contributors to this volume analyze this prolific period of African American creativity in music, performance art, social science scholarship, and visual and literary artistic expression. Unlike Harlem, Chicago was an urban industrial center that gave a unique working class and internationalist perspective to the cultural work being done in Chicago. This collection's various essays discuss the forces that distinguished the Black Chicago Renaissance from the Harlem Renaissance and placed the development of black culture in a national and international context. Among the topics discussed in this volume are Chicago writers Gwendolyn Brooks and Richard Wright, The Chicago Defender and Tivoli Theater, African American music and visual arts, and the American Negro Exposition of 1940. Contributors are Hilary Mac Austin, David T. Bailey, Murry N. DePillars, Samuel A. Floyd Jr., Erik S. Gellman, Jeffrey Helgeson, Darlene Clark Hine, John McCluskey Jr., Christopher Robert Reed, Elizabeth Schlabach, and Clovis E. Semmes.

Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9780824798888
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 688
Book Description
Reflecting the diverse experience and interests of four internationally recognized experts in the field, this clinically oriented resource furnishes a stimulating variety of perspectives on the dynamic field of neuropathology-discussing essential issues such as deriving reasonable differential and final diagnoses from gross and microscopic findings and applying tools of modern molecular and cellular neurobiology to elucidate the pathophysiologic mechanisms of major disease entities commonly encountered in routine neuropathologic practice. A readily accessible guide for the novice and seasoned practitioner seeking a fundamental understanding of neurologic and neuropathologic conditions! Reinforcing concepts and themes of pathophysiology common to many neurologic ailments, Diagnostic Neuropathology describes the appropriate use of ancillary procedures consequential to specific prognoses, including electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, biochemical techniques, molecular probe studies, and microbial cultures integrates molecular and genetic data on metabolic diseases, neoplasms, metabolic abnormalities, and neurodegenerative and malformative conditions with their neuropathologic attributes facilitates clinicopathologic correlation by presenting epidemiologic and clinical information pertinent to particular diseases within a meaningful framework features over 430 lucid photographs of fixed specimens, photomicrographs, and drawings illustrating disease mechanisms and unique cellular responses of the nervous system to injury and more! Invaluably complemented with an excellent bibliography highlighting recent, key literature on various aspects of neuropathology and related neuroscience topics, this practical guide is a requisite for neuropathologists, general and anatomic pathologists, clinical neurologists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, and medical and graduate school students in these disciplines.
