- Description:
- Painting by Louis Delsarte.
Delsarte is a figurative expressionist painter from New York City and, as of 2012, a professor of art at Morehouse College in Atlanta. This mixed media reclining nude illustrates the sensitivity and whimsy that Delsarte employs in depicting the black female body. Of his artistic practice Delsarte says, "I seek beauty in my work. Painting is a form of prayer, and keeps me connected to God. Since the beginning of my career, I have retained my vision of romanticism and the unknown. My surrealistic nature inspires the creation of masks suggesting the hidden universality of people and races."
