LA–based artists Duane Paul and George Evans offer their insights in tours of both CAAM's Plumb Line: Charles White and the Contemporary and LACMA's Charles White: A Retrospective. The program begins at 2:00 p.m with Paul at CAAM exploring the works inspired by White’s legacy; followed by a 4:00 p.m. tour at LACMA with George Evans, looking at White's work from his early career in Chicago through his later New York and Los Angeles years. Paul and Evans will examine how White's long career as both artist and teacher influenced generations of artists, including many prominent contemporary artists today.


This program is presented in partnership with LACMA. Free LACMA admission is included with event RSVP through CAAM. Transportation and parking are the responsibility of attendees. Please note that Jazz at LACMA, the museum's weekly free jazz concert, begins at 6:00 p.m. following this event.
