Description

“Paint is the only weapon I have with which to fight what I resent.” -Charles White

Charles White’s Preacher (Reverend Man) is an important early painting that displays the prodigious talent of an artist who would go on to be one of the most influential painters of his generation.

This painting epitomizes White’s most important subjects, which monumentalize and empower members of the Black community so often ignored by other artists. Included in White’s critically acclaimed 2018 retrospective organized by the Art Institute of Chicago,

Preacher (Reverend Man) is the embodiment of White’s remarkable dexterity in drawing enhanced with the riveting color and intensity created through his rarer use of the tempera medium.

Painted in 1940, when the artist was just 21 years old, the subject of this highly accomplished work looms large, his imposing physical frame excluding all extraneous details from the composition.

Dressed in a red shirt, brown pants and matching waistcoat, any religious regalia normally associated with a man of God is omitted, apart from the leather-bound book he holds in his hands.
