In October 1954, Beauford wrote:
"The privilege and right of choice and following love in all its difficult and painful rhythm, knowing the satisfaction that comes from the power of feeling and stimulation that comes from those we love; it's the essence of our work."
Today, I am presenting images of several of Beauford's abstracts, currently held by the Knoxville Museum of Art, that evoke this sentiment for me.
