Keith Haring, Jerk off (Juan Dubose), 1981

Untitled (Portrait of a Young Man), 1938 — watercolor and pastel on green wove paper by Beauford Delaney.

This sensitive portrait is an early work by Beauford Delaney (1901–1979), created during his time living and working in Greenwich Village. He settled in the Village, drawn by his ideals of integration and a bohemian lifestyle that suited him. Delaney painted portraits of friends, supporters, and public figures who held personal significance. His social consciousness inspired him to depict individuals from diverse racial and sexual backgrounds—portraying both black and white subjects, as well as the heteronormative and gay residents of the Village. Delaney led a romantically solitary life, choosing not to express his underlying sexuality due to his strict religious upbringing and the sociopolitical climate of the time.

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.”

— Frida Kahlo
