Charles Keeling Lassiter spans both worlds - he is a trained artist who is
also considered an outsider. He has participated in numerous exhibitions
including the Museum of Modern Art in 1956 and the Musée de L'Art Brut in
1986. He work has often been compared to Jean Dubuffet because of his raw and
primitive renderings. Works in this show are all from the 1950's and have
rarely been seen. Provocative and spontaneous eruptions that seem to rise up
out of the dark, the portraits are not of this world but are precise visions
of some inner sense of his being. Lassiter's works can be found in such
collections as the Museum of Modern Art and the Brooklyn Museum.
