CLEVELAND, Ohio Big-time art world success came late for Cleveland painter Michelangelo Lovelace, and it was very sweet when it did. But he scarcely had time to savor it before his life was cut short last month by an illness.
One of the city’s most important artists of the past 35 years, and one of its leading African-American artists, Lovelace died April 26 at his home in Cleveland’s Cudell neighborhood at age 60 after a yearlong battle with pancreatic cancer, his widow, Shirley Lovelace, said. His funeral was held Wednesday.
