Joseph Delaney, circa 1980

Metadata

Name	Delaney, Joseph
Dates & places of birth and death	Knoxville 1904-1991 Knoxville
Nationality	American
Notes	Joseph and his brother Beauford Delaney are two of Knoxville's most important artists. Born to a minister-father, the Delaney brothers learned to draw on Sunday school cards at church and were given art lesson by distinguished local artist Lloyd Branson. In 1930, Joseph studied with regionalist painter Thomas Hart Benton at New York's Art Students League with a group of classmates that included Jackson Pollock. Delaney spent the next 56 years painting portraits, figure studies, and lively scenes of urban life in lower Manhattan. Marble Collegiate Church depicts a bustling Manhattan crowd dwarfed by a towering church spire and a turbulent sky. Its distinctive frame was designed and built by the artist. In 1986, Delaney returned to Knoxville and was artist-in-residence at University of Tennessee until his death.
