Beauford Delaney mixes styles, colors and shapes to present his unique take on the world, and his progression from creating structured cityscapes and portraits to crafting abstract visions can be seen in the exhibit Beauford Delaney: From New York to Paris. The paintings are organized in clusters to reflect specific parts of Delaney's career: his early, more realistic work in New York, a partial recreation of the Pyramid Club exhibit in Philadelphia in 1947, and the abstractions in Paris.

It's your guilty pleasure, your Tuesday night fix. It is MTV's The Real World, and in its 16th season, the show has mastered sucking in audiences to follow the famed "seven strangers" -- seven strangers who must be interesting if you're willing to watch them get wasted week after week, right? In response to this burning question, Street caught up with Wes, the strawberry-blond from The Real World: Austin, who stopped by Tiki Bob's Cantina in Northern Liberties last week.
