"Amazing grace a life of Beauford Delaney"@en . . . . . . "In Amazing Grace: A Life of Beauford Delaney David Leeming tells the story of one of the most important black artists of our time. In chronicling Delaney's remarkable trajectory from a strong religious family in Knoxville to his death in a Parisian insane asylum, Leeming maintains a dual focus on Delaney's troubled inner life - his complicated homosexuality and the \"voices\" that would drive him mad - and his vibrant external life - his friendships with an amazing range of writers, artists, and musicians. In many ways, Delaney's life focuses the major currents of twentieth century art." . . . . .
