CHARLES WHITE (1918 - 1979) Mexican Boy.
CHARLES WHITE (1918 - 1979)
Mexican Boy.
Pen and brown ink, over pencil and with gouache corrections, on thick cream wove paper, 1946. 340x163 mm; 13 3/8x6 1/2 inches. Signed with black ink and inscribed "Mexico" and dated in brown ink, lower right.
This drawing appears to be the matrix for the same-titled reproductive lithograph. The print was included with Our War and Mexican Woman in the portfolio Yes, the People published in 1948. Charles White worked with the Workshop of Graphic Art to produce both the portfolios Yes, the People and Negro USA in 1949. Both are in the collection of the Museum of the National Center for Afro-American Arts, Boston. The drawing displays the gouache corrections for printing, and the rest of the foot which was cropped out of the print. Lizetta LeFalle-Collins and Shifra Goldman, In the Spirit of Resistance, p. 154.
