Last week, I brought you a post about the difficulties Beauford had during the year 1970 and showed images of several portraits he produced that year.
Despite his troubles, Beauford had several successes in 1970. Among them was his participation in a group exhibition called Afro-American Artists Abroad, which was shown at the National Center of Afro-American Artists in Dorchester, Massachusetts and the University of Texas Art Museum in Austin, TX.
The images of several 1970 abstract works that I'm presenting today call to mind a statement written about Beauford's œuvre for the exhibition catalog by art professor James Lewis:
"Radiates the joy of an artist with one concern, the challenging joy of painting."
