- Summary:
- "For Beauford Delaney, drawing was both a sanctuary and a space for experimentation. Through his works on paper, he could explore ideas with intimacy and spontaneity, yet this vital area of his oeuvre has been largely overlooked. In the Medium of Life: The Drawings of Beauford Delaney marks New York's first major Delaney museum exhibition in over thirty years and the first ever focused on his drawings--a medium central to his artistic practice. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated publication featuring contributions by the exhibition's curators, Laura Hoptman, Executive Director and Rebecca DiGiovanni, Assistant Curator at The Drawing Center, as well as an essay by Jessica Lynne, art critic and founding editor of ARTS.
