"Harvest Talk" by Charles White (1953).
Charles White was one of the greatest socially conscious figurative painters of the 20th century. Like musician Woody Guthrie and photographer Dorthea Lange, who used art to paint vivid pictures of poverty in America during the depression, White used his powerful imagery to challenge the systems responsible for racial injustice. Ian will talk about growing up in Altadena during the1950s and 60s in a mixed race family, and what it was like to have loving parents who inspired social responsibility and creativity.
