Beauford Delaney (Knoxville 1901-1979 Paris) Untitled (Knoxville Landscape), 1969 Watercolor on paper 12 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches Knoxville Museum of Art, 2014 purchase with funds provided by the Rachael Patterson Young Art Acquisition Reserve Beauford Delaney produced this rare view of his hometown in December of 1969 during one of the only return visits he made after settling in Paris in 1953. The vibrant scene captures the wild character of East Tennessee's landscape, which probably struck him as especially lush and untamed after many years of urban life in New York and Paris. |
