Описание: Beauford Delaney and James Baldwin: Through the Unusual Door examines the thirty-eight-year relationship between painter Beauford Delaney (born in Knoxville, 1901; died in Paris, 1979) and writer James Baldwin (born in New York, 1924; died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, 1987) and the ways their ongoing intellectual exchange shaped each others creative output and worldview. This full-color publication documents the groundbreaking exhibition organized by the Knoxville Museum of Art (KMA) and is drawn from the KMAs extensive Delaney holdings, from public and private collections around the country, and from unpublished photographs and papers held by the Knoxville-based estate of Beauford Delaney. This book seeks to identify and disentangle the skein of influences that grew over and around a complex, lifelong relationship with a selection of Delaneys works that reflects the powerful presence of Baldwin in Delaneys life. While no other figure in Beauford Delaneys extensive social orbit approaches James Baldwin in the extent and duration of influence, none of the major exhibitions of Delaneys work has explored in any depth the creative exchange between the two.
The volume also includes essays by Mary Campbell, whose research currently focuses on James Baldwin and Beauford Delaney within the context of the civil rights movement; Glenn Ligon, an internationally acclaimed New York-based artist with intimate knowledge of Baldwins writings, Delaneys art, and American history and society; Levi Prombaum, a curatorial assistant at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum who did his doctoral research at University College London on Delaneys portraits of James Baldwin; and Stephen Wicks, the Knoxville Museum of Arts Barbara W. and Bernard E. Bernstein Curator, who has guided the KMAs curatorial department for over 25 years and was instrumental in building the worlds largest and most comprehensive public collection of Beauford Delaneys art at the KMA.
