Summary "This rich portrait of an innovative and determined artist begins with Ernie Barnes as a child in the segregated South. Despite a desire to pursue art, football was Barnes’s ticket to college, where he visited museums for the first time and was dismayed to find no black artists represented....Collier’s multidimensional collages are a dynamic mix of gridiron action and quiet moments of Barnes with his brushes and canvases. It’s a well-sourced, stirringly told account of an artist drawing inspiration from and finding beauty in the immediate surroundings of his world." -- Publishers Weekly Audience 660L Lexile Subject Barnes, Ernie, 1938-2009.
