Description	Zell (originally "Rozelle) Ingram (1910-1971) was born in Carrothersville, Ohio and came with his mother to Cleveland in 1922. A gifted child, he soon enrolled in art classes at Karamu House. Ingram went to East Technical High School. It appears that after graduating, he spent three years traveling and performing with the Karamu puppetry group. In 1931, he left Cleveland for New York to study at the Art Students League. But these were Depression years, therefore he returned to Cleveland in 1933 to assist Karamu with its WPA project in the performing arts, designing and building sets and acting in Karamu Theatre productions. Eventually, Ingram became a member of Karamu Artists, Incorporated. In 1940, he returned to New York to study, once again, at the Art Students League. Ingram taught at the Harlem YMCA, which functioned as a WPA arts center. He exhibited in Art of the American Negro at Tanner Galleries in Chicago (1940) and in Negro Art from Cleveland's Karamu House at the Association of American Artists' Gallery in New York (1942). This piece is a black chalk drawing.
