Beauford in Six Minutes or Less

Last week, I came across a well crafted, 4:19-minute video about Beauford in a recently launched series about art history. Catherine, the creator of the series, chose to feature Beauford in her first episode.

Artist Series Ep.1 - Beauford Delaney

Viewing this video inspired me to look for others that grasped the essence of Beauford's life and/or work in a relatively short period of time.

Below are links to videos that do so in six minutes or less.

Some talk about Beauford biographically and some feature specific works of art.

A Modern Icon: Beauford Delaney's Marian Anderson

Going My Way: Episode 19 Beauford Delaney

Beauford Delaney, Can Fire in the Park, 1946

Gathering Light

The video short called BLACK HISTORY MONTH 2026! Daily Drawing Day Eight Beauford Delaney depicts an artist sketching a portrait of an older Beauford, which I believe was inspired by Errol Sawyer's 1973 photo portrait.
