Charles White
Linocut - Folk Singer, 1953
In this iconic print, Charles White reinterprets his 1957 Folk Singer ink drawing in the collection of Harry Belafonte. In the late 1950s, White made musicians, singers and actors the subjects of his work--from the famous to the anonymous. While they had met in the early 1950s through their membership in the Committee for the Negro Arts, White and Belafonte became close friends and collaborated often once White moved to California. He was a faculty member of Otis College here in Los Angeles, teaching and influencing many prominent artists of today including David Hammons and Kerry James Marshall.
