Lives in Art: Discussions on Beauford and Joseph Delaney

As part of the current The Delaney Brothers: Lives in Art exhibition at the UT Downtown Gallery in Knoxville, TN, the gallery recently hosted a virtual discussion during which three scholars discussed Beauford and Joseph Delaney's lives and work.

UT Associate Professor Mary Campbell discusses Beauford, Professor Emeritus Fred Moffatt discusses Joseph, and Professor Jared Sprecher discusses both brothers.  

Campbell gives a fascinating presentation about Beauford, including a detailed discussion of the derivation of the name of Beauford's first portrait of James Baldwin - Dark Rapture.
