Reviews

Carlisle Chang’s art has had great impact on the Caribbean since the 1940s when his name made headlines in art reviews and the newspapers. His painting “Setting Out” is reproduced In the Trinidad Guardian of 11 Nov. 1948 and the writer comments that his work has the “correct blend of colour which harmonises the painting, and makes a fine study.”("Stimulating Exhibition of Art at the RVI.” Trinidad Guardian 11 Nov. 1948. Print.)
