Njideka Akunyili Crosby features in Plumb Line: Charles White and the Contemporary

The exhibition (8 March–25 August 2019) features contemporary artists whose work in the realm of black individual and collective life resonates with Charles White’s profound and continuing influence.

 

A prolific painter, printmaker, muralist, draftsman, and photographer whose career spanned more than half a century, Charles White’s artistic portrayals of black subjects, life, and history were extensive and far-reaching. 

 

The exhibition is presented as a companion to the LACMA exhibitions Charles White: A Retrospective and Life Model: Charles White and his Students.
