I had the gift of writing a profile on Professor Delsarte in 2003 for Images magazine. What a profound legacy he is for us. His work connected me to our ancestors in such an intimate and spirit filled way. Some gave me the softness of quilt work (“Gathering”, acrylic on canvas 2003). Or sent me dreaming in notes of Blues and Jazz (“Illusions of Grandeur”, graphite pencil 1987). He credited his mother for introducing him to art and encouraging him to draw. As a New York City girl, raised by the village of Harlem, I took great pride that his professional journey began in my sister village at Brooklyn College. Where he earned a certificate in Fine Arts Education in the mid 70’s. He would later earn his B.F.A. from Pratt Institute before moving on to earn his M.F.A from The University of Arizona and master studies at Hans Hoffman in Provincetown Mass. More than his connection to the village that raised me is his faith as he shared with me, “When I paint, I seek beauty in my work. For me, painting is a form of prayer and keeps me connected to God.” May flights of angels sing you to rest brother Delsarte. May your work forever lift us higher and remind us of the richness in our souls.

I very much appreciate Kevin Sipp’s deeply insightful acknowledgements of Louis Delsarte’s life journey as artist. Delsarte will live on in the memories of many of us as a highly imaginative chronicler of what he witnessed during his sojourn in this world.

A beautifully expressed tribute to Louis … I hope this appears in print so that not only will I be able to refer back to it but send it on to my daughter and grandsons all of who knew and loved Louis …
