Delaney’s Younger Brother


Post from Rob Matthews

Hey

I love the Delaney show but it doesn’t make much mention of his brother Joseph.
Here’s a link if you want more info on him.

You can find other examples of his work online if you look around. I knew more about him than Beauford going to school in Knoxville since Joseph spent the last years of his life in K’ville.

He died the year before I got there. The student center has his large NYC street scene “V-J Day, Times Square” on display. It’s about 8’x10′.
