Draw What You See: The Life and Art of Benny Andrews

Draw What You See: The Life and Art of Benny Andrews

Benny Andrews loved to draw. He drew his nine brothers and sisters, and his parents. He drew the red earth of the fields where they all worked, the hot sun that beat down, and the rows and rows of crops. As Benny hauled buckets of water, he made pictures in his head. And he dreamed of a better lifeâ€”something beyond the segregation, the backbreaking labor, and the limited opportunities of his world.Â
Â Â Â Â Bennyâ€™s dreamsÂ took him far from the rural Georgia of his childhood. He became one of the most important African AmericanÂ painters of theÂ twentieth century, and he opened doors for other artists of color.Â HisÂ story will inspire budding young artists to work hard and follow their dreams.
