Beauford on Google Arts and Culture

Google Arts & Culture is a non-profit initiative whose mission is to preserve and bring the world’s art and culture online so it’s accessible to anyone, anywhere.  They work with cultural institutions and artists around the world to help them digitize, manage and publish their collections online, all for free.

The site has dedicated a section to Beauford.  It presents eight works that represent a wide range of works - from figurative to abstract, from landscapes to portraits - that he created during his New York and Paris years.

The text presented on these pages is scant, and for some works, only the details about the media, year of creation, and location are provided.

Still, it is worth visiting the site as a reminder of the breadth of Beauford's artistic genius!
