Just over 50 years ago, the Darthea Speyer Gallery opened a solo exhibition of Beauford's work. Biographer David Leeming states that in this show, "... what stood out were the portraits composed during the years since the 1964 Lambert show." He says that Beauford's purpose in painting these portraits seems to have been to "celebrate the art of painting itself."
Below are images of several of the portraits shown during the 1973 Speyer exhibition.
