Charles Evans was a modernist known for his abstract style of painting. He studied at New York's Art Students League and Parsons School of Design, and later in Paris with Fernand Leger at the Academie Moderne.

In 1930, Evans and his wife spent a year living

in what was Paul Cezanne's studio in Aix-en-Provence, France.

The following year, Evans purchased the old silk mill in New Hope and became involved in the area's modernist movement, joining The Independents in 1932.

By 1935, he began to work collaboratively with Louis Stone, whom he had met in 1929 while studying with Hans Hofman in Saint Tropez, and with Charles F. Ramsey, teaching art classes and working on the Cooperative Painting Project. Every week, the three were joined by the abstract painter, Lee Gatch, in discussions at Ledger's Inn in Lambertville.
