"Charles White is one of the great voices among those
Black Americans who during the past 30 years have been the real
interpreters of the American Negro. In this connection, his one-man
exhibitions have always been for me unforgettable events, providing
the highest opportunity for enlightenment though the revelation of
powerful truths couched in a beautifully nuanced graphic poetry that
unfailingly hits the mark. Indeed, his art belongs not to one
people,
but to all the world. It is demonstrated that he has forged
for himself
an artistic language which transcends the boundaries set
to art by a
trivial subject matter or the short-lived vogue of
social or
political propaganda."
-James A. Porter, head of
Department of Fine Arts and director of
Howard University art
