Beauford Delaney (Knoxville 1901-1979 Paris) Untitled (Château de Chambord), 1971 Ink on paper 15 1/2 x 23 1/2 inches Knoxville Museum of Art, 2014 purchase with funds provided by the Rachael Patterson Young Art Acquisition Reserve Knoxville-born Beauford Delaney is widely considered to be among the greatest American modern painters of the twentieth century. Despite battling poverty, prejudice, and mental illness, Delaney achieved an international reputation for his portraits, scenes of city life, and free-form abstractions marked by intense colors, bold contours, and expressive surfaces. This rendering of the famous Château de Chambord is unusually descriptive for Delaney, and stems from a period in which he was living in the Montparnasse area of Paris. |
