Charles White

A vertically oriented graphite drawing depicts an adult man and a child with medium-dark skin. Positioned at the top right, the man's profile faces left, his head defined by thick hatching. Below, the child curls toward the man's chest with a gaping mouth and wide-open eyes looking right. Overlapping lines create deep shading throughout the figures against a background of scribbled strokes. In the bottom right, CHARLES WHITE is written in block letters.

Charles White learned from his Mississippi-born mother, herself the granddaughter of an enslaved woman, “to see how much the peace and human dignity of the world will be protected and won by the simple, ordinary people.” He deeply admired her moral strength, and throughout four decades as a professional artist, he often created powerful images of strong, steadfast black women. His “images of dignity” continue to express a universal humanity, one he hoped would move viewers to say, “This is somebody I know.” In murals, drawings, paintings, and prints, White left a legacy of authentic artworks capturing the spirit of a people.

By Mary Hoerner, Jeffrey Strean, Leslie Cade The Cleveland Museum of Art opened to the public in 1916. In front of the majestic marble structure, however, was a neglected parcel of land with a small lake owned by the City of Cleveland. In the 1920s the Garden Club of Cleveland took on the job of transforming this blighted plot into the Fine Arts Garden, a beautiful place everyone could enjoy. Mary Hoerner delves into the history of the Fine Arts Garden, and Jeffrey Strean and Leslie Cade discuss past and present developments of the museum’s grounds as well as plans for the future. This lavishly illustrated and beautifully designed book presents a new aspect of the history of a distinguished institution. 108 pages Published 2016
