An essay about Charles White from an issue-long portfolio of works by African-American artists published in the "Museum Studies" Journal of the Art Institute of Chicago. Includes brief biographical notes and a critic's appraisal of "Harvest Talk," a social-realist-tinged charcoal drawing of White's from the 1950s. The critique manages to capture a lot of the qualities of White's art in a few short words, such as his interest in the working classes and his affinity with Soviet-style depictions of labor.
