Charles White Collection
"I look to the life of my people as the fountainhead of challenging themes and monumental concepts. I strive to create an image that all mankind can personally relate to and see his dreams and ideals mirrored with hope and dignity." - Charles White, Negro Digest 1963.
"My work takes shape around images and ideas that are centered within the vertex of a black life experience. A nitty-gritty ghetto experience - resulting in contradictory emotions. Anguish - hope-love-despair-happiness-faith-lack of faith- dreams." - Charles White, EBONY Magazine 1970
