First published in 1998, Leeming's landmark biography of Beauford Delaney returns to print
Long out of print, this new edition of David Leeming's landmark biography of Beauford Delaney (1901-79) features an introduction by Hilton Als. Leeming, also the author of James Baldwin's acclaimed 1994 biography, delves into the captivating life of one of the most significant Black artists of our time. With rare affection, tact and insight, he paints a vivid portrait of an artist who defied convention and left an indelible mark on both art history and everyone he encountered--including a diverse array of writers, artists and musicians, from Henry Miller and Jean Genet to Baldwin and Georgia O'Keeffe.
David Adams Leeming (born 1937) is an American philologist and Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Connecticut. He is the author of The World of Myth (1990), James Baldwin: A Biography (1994) and the Oxford Companion to World Mythology (2005). He lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
