Between the Lines: How Ernie Barnes Went from the Football Field to the Art Gallery
Sandra Neil Wallace
This biography follows Ernie Barnes, who loved to draw while growing up in North Carolina during the 1940s. In the segregated South, he did not know how art could become a career. He later earned a football scholarship, was drafted into the American Football League, and kept a sketchbook at practice. Barnes began by painting football and eventually made art his career, portraying ordinary people through movement shaped by his sports experience.
