In the Medium of Life: The Drawings of Beauford Delaney is the first New York museum exhibition dedicated to Delaney’s drawings. Featuring around ninety works on paper alongside paintings and archival materials, the show reveals drawing as central to his creative process. Spanning from early portraits to late abstractions, the exhibition traces Delaney’s evolution from Harlem to Paris and highlights the vital, often overlooked role his drawings played in his artistic journey.
