Artist Research - Charles White

I found a couple interesting prominent and early African American artists that I find interesting in their artistic style and approach.

The first is Charles White - I can relate my fairly graphic work to his and try to emulate the way he uses very detailed graphics (almost comic-like) but blends them well and really develops dimensionality and shading.
I also enjoy his manipulation of size and scale, creating an emphasis on certain areas of each piece.

The first one is harvest talk (1953) and the second is titled the preacher (1940)
