      Charles Davis 1912-1967 Portrait of a Woman pencil drawing 1948 Signed and dated. Employed as an easel painter with the Illinois Art Project, Charles Vincent Davis was known for his portrayals of the people and places of his beloved Bronzeville in South Side, Chicago. Davis briefly attended classes at the Art Institute and Hull House in Chicago in 1940. He was a founder and one of the first group of instructors at the South Side Community Art Center in 1940. Davis was a frequent exhibitor at the Art Institute of Chicago, showed with the Chicago Artists Group, and had work in the American Negro Exposition, 1940. In 2008, Davis’ work was part of an exhibition entitled, Convergence: Jewish and African American Artists in Depression-era Chicago at the Koehnline Museum of Art, Illinois. His work is part of the permanent collection at the South Side Community Art Center. When asked why he chose Bronzeville as his subject matter, Davis replied, “ I live here because I have a deep sympathy for the people who live here. These people and the whole neighborhood have something to say. I want to paint real people and real places.” REF: Chicago Modern 1893-1945, Pursuit of the New, Elizabeth Kennedy (exhibition catalog for the Terra Museum 2004) 9 x 6 inches (image)
