Charles White (1918–1979), one of the twentieth century’s most
accomplished and innovative draftsmen, was also highly regarded as
an educator and activist. His life spanned the Great Depression and
the WPA era as well as the civil rights movement and the early days
of feminism, movements that he not only actively participated in
but also shaped. This catalog celebrates the artist’s remarkable
career and legacy and the generous gift of artworks to The
University of Texas from Susan G. and Edmund W. Gordon, lifelong
friends of White and his wife, Frances. In addition to essays on
each of the twenty-three works of art owned by The University of
Texas and an interview with Edmund Gordon and his son, Ted Gordon,
the catalog includes first-person tributes to White from artists,
writers, actors, activists, and students whose lives he touched,
including fellow artists Margaret Burroughs and Alice Neel; singer
Harry Belafonte; poet Langston Hughes; and former students David
Hammons, Kent Twitchell, and Kerry James Marshall.
