Join Suzanne Jackson, a former student of Charles White for a walkthrough of Life Model: Charles White and His Students with an introduction by co-curator C. Ian White. Suzanne Jackson is an accomplished artist, poet, set designer, gallery owner, and dancer. After moving to Los Angeles in the late 1960s from the San Francisco Bay area, she took a drawing class at Otis Art Institute with Charles White. Inspired by White’s philosophy of activism, from 1968 to 1970 Jackson ran Gallery 32, one of the only places emerging African American artists were exhibited. Jackson has been living in Savannah, Georgia since 1996 and her first full-career survey, Suzanne Jackson: Five Decades is now on view in the Jepson Center at the Telfair Museums. Life Model: Charles White and His Students includes work by, among others, Kerry James Marshall, David Hammons, and Judithe Hernández who were all mentored by Charles White. The exhibition features artwork in diverse media and modes of expression, alongside sketchbooks, photographs, and archival footage. One of the most important artists of his time, White cultivated some of the most significant artists of ours.
