“The exhibition Charles White and the Legacy of the Figure: Celebrating the Gordon Gift is one of two exhibitions on master American artist Charles White that will be mounted at the University of Texas at Austin in fall, 2019. The exhibitions celebrate a major donation of White’s artworks by Susan G. and Edmund W. Gordon in 2014, just as they participate in the centennial commemoration of the artist’s birth. Containing a painting, several large-scale drawings, and a number of prints by master American artist Charles White (1918-1979), the gift represents a major boost to the reputation of the campus’ already prodigious collections, contributes to a more holistic understanding of American modernism, and makes UT a crucial destination to research Charles White, African American art, and American social realism.”
