The artistic teen was selected for a summer drawing class at the Otis Art Institute of Los Angeles County where White taught, despite being reserved for older students. Though White didn\u2019t teach the course, Marshall was exposed to<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the book\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Images of Dignity: The Drawings of Charles White <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and permitted to visit the renowned artist\u2019s studio on campus. Following<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s timeless advice for young artists to locate a \u201cgood master and copy his work,\u201d Marshall \u201cwas copying a drawing of Frederick Douglass from the book when the artist himself walked into our classroom.\u201d Right there, he later wrote, \u201cI resolved to be an Otis student as soon as I graduated high school.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In January 1977,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marshall enrolled as a full-time student at Otis. And even though his iconic mentor would pass two years later, the impact on Marshall was indelible, stretching beyond the grave. A quarter century after the young artist first read White\u2019s name, he bought an abandoned building to convert into a studio in White\u2019s native city of Chicago. There, wrote Marshall, sitting \u201catop a pile of papers in a desk drawer left behind by the previous owners\u201d was a copy of the book that started it all, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great Negroes, Past and Present, \u201c<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">worn and tattered, held together with duct tape. My eyes popped and my heart pounded just as they had at his studio door at Otis.
