He was immersed in music, including jazz, opera, musicals, and the blues, which greatly influenced his work. Delsarte pursued his passion for art by receiving a certificate in Fine Arts Education from Brooklyn College, a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from Pratt Institute, and a master's degree in Fine Arts at the University of Arizona. His commitment to the arts led him to become a professor of Fine Arts at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, where he shared his knowledge and passion with students. 🏛️ Notable Exhibitions:Delsarte's exceptional works have been showcased in solo and group exhibitions at prestigious venues across the United States. His art has graced the walls of the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and many others. In 2001, Delsarte created a monumental public mural entitled "Transitions" at the Church Avenue station in Brooklyn, New York. His art also found a place on a U.S. Postal Service stamp, celebrating the march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. ✨ Style and Technique:Delsarte's artistic style is marked by its chaotic abstraction and disciplined figuration. His paintings exhibit a complex, layered appearance, enlivened with rapid strokes in vibrant colors. His technique reflects a concern for synthesizing the unpredictable and irrational aspects of art-making with the discipline of representational images. 🎭 The Lincoln Center Connection:This lithograph is not just a piece of art; it's a historical artifact that was part of a sponsorship by the Repertory group at Lincoln Center, supporting a "young" program of graphic design carried out by undergraduate students, alumni of the Department of Graphic Art & Design, and students from the Pratt Graduate School of Fine Arts.
