Charles White "Progress of the American Negro" Postcard

Sale price$3.00
Charles White’s paintings, drawings, and prints are characterized by an unwavering dedication to representing the history and experience of African Americans. Among his best-known works is a mural commission he created in Chicago in 1939–40 for the Works Progress Administration. He remained committed to a social realist style of figurative painting into the postwar era, when abstraction dominated the mainstream art world. White’s socially conscious portraits portray both celebrated civil rights activists, such as Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, and archetypal everyday community figures, including mothers and laborers, as venerable, valiant subjects. This oversized postcard features White's Progress of the American Negro (1939-40).
