About the exhibition:
\n
Th e exhibition features nearly 50 of White’s drawings\, prints\, and painti ngs selected from the Primas Family Collection\, one of the nation’s prem iere collections of work by Black artists. The forceful images of White’s early career merge into the breathtaking\, emotive works for which he is best known\, like the two large charcoal drawings in the exhibition from his J’Accuse series. Another notable feature\, on public displa y for the first time\, is a group of 12 oil-wash illustrations commission ed by the Johnson Publishing Company (Ebony\, JET) for the landm ark book The Shaping of Black America (1975) by noted author and Ebony editor Lerone Bennett\, Jr.
