About this product
Product Information
In honour of the centennial of Beauford Delaney's birth, An Artistic Friendship examines the close artistic and personal friendship between two important American artists of the 20th century, Beauford Delaney and Lawrence Calcagno. An unlikely pair, the two became friends in Paris in the early 1950s and remained close over the next 20 years until Delaney's deteriorating mental health removed him from his orbit of friends and family. Delaney (1901-79), a black American from Knoxville, Tennessee, spent most of his life as an expatriate artist in Paris. Calcagno (1913-93), a white American from northern California, spent much of his peripatetic career in the United States and in Europe in search of a place to call home. But Delaney and Calcagno had many things in common. Both men committed themselves whole-heartedly to lyrical abstraction, though Delaney's work was ultimately influenced more by Claude Monet's fluid water-lily paintings than by the colour-field painters so important in Calcagno's formation as an artist. Both men shared an interest in the philosophical underpinnings of their abstract work. Calcagno's abstract landscapes of the mind - with their recognizable and consistent horizons - derived in part from the artist's sense of the universal yet mysterious harmony of nature. For Delaney, abstraction gave form to the higher power of light in the world, a light that, according to his close friend James Baldwin, held the power to illuminate, even to redeem and reconcile and heal . Both men experienced the power of melancholia, and both understood well the social isolation accompanying their homosexuality.

- 9***9 (360)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe bible has arrived well before estimated delivery time and other to a little tear in the packaging, in good order. I assumed from the pictures that it came in a box cover, however, it was unboxed when I received it. This isn’t an issue as the leather cover is in lovely condition and has been well looked after. It was sold at a very generous price including shipping. The seller was very helpful and quick to reply to questions and I would recommend them. Thank you

- a***l (338)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAlthough the description details were misleading, the customer support was rather good. I ordered the 2-volume set of ‘Atlas Shrugged’, but received a single volume. It might not seem like much to others, but it’s a large book and a 2-set volume would have made it easier to read. In addition, poor packaging damaged the DJ. Anyways, after sending firm, yet precise and polite emails, the situation was promptly resolved, hence the positive feedback; and, why I would buy again from the seller. 👍
