Charles White - From the Art category:
Art must be an integral part of the struggle. It can't simply mirror what's taking place. It must adapt itself to human needs. It must ally itself with the forces of liberation. (Charles White)
Charles White - From the Artists category:
My major concern is to get my work before common, ordinary people; for me to be accepted as a spokesman for my people; for my work to portray them better, and to be rich and meaningful to them. A work of art was meant to belong to people, not to be a single person's private possession. Art should take its place as one of the necessities of life, like food, clothing and shelter. (Charles White)
Charles White - From the Interest category:
I am interested in the social, even the propaganda, angle in painting; but I feel that the job of everyone in a creative field is to picture the whole scene... I am interested in creating a style that is much more powerful, that will take in the technical end and at the same time will say what I have to say. (Charles White)
Charles White - From the Painting category:
Paint is the only weapon I have with which to fight what I resent. If I could write, I would write about it. If I could talk, I would talk about it. Since I paint, I must paint about it. (Charles White)
Charles White - From the Responsibility category:
An artist must bear a special responsibility. He must be accountable for the content of his work. And that work should reflect a deep, abiding concern for humanity. (Charles White)
