Joseph
Delaney
American
1904-1981
Joseph
Delaney, an important African-American artist and brother of
artist Beauford Delaney, was born in Knoxville, Tennessee in
1904. After traveling around the country during his early years,
often as a hobo, Delaney moved to New York City to study at the
Art Students League with Thomas Hart Benton. Benton's influence
led to Delaney's lifelong commitment to technical fundamentals
and the desire to depict the American scene. Beginning in the
1930s, Delaney exhibited at the Washington Square Outdoor Art
Exhibit where he created a number of portrait drawings. Delaney's
work has been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the
Art Students' League, the National Academy of Design, the Studio
Museum of Harlem, and many other venues. His work is in major
public and private collections.
