Outstanding exhibition of the art and life of #BeaufortDelaney @drawingcenter is powerful and distressing. Those out of town can see materials on #BloombergConnects app.

Flick of #beaufortdelaney painting called Charlie Parker yardbird from 1958. Indescribable really..like firework burst of melonish pink bright w some shade without a firework center on a backdrop of blue. Simple silver frame on a red wall.

She wore yellllow! Lots a yellow. A beautiful lady with lighter brown skin and short brown hair wearing a yellow dress and a yellow and blue dressy jacket, hands clasped in front with a brushy backdrop of the same yellow with other colors below/behind. Wood frame on red wall. Maaaahvelous dahling.
