Publishing Date: 2002-07-01
Features: Delacroix was not only an outstanding painter but also a highly accomplished writer. His diaries are widely recognized as outstanding literary works, and his art essays are also important materials for the study of art history and art theory. This book is a classic masterpiece in which the author discusses art and artists. The executor of Delacroix's will, Pierre, selected the most interesting and reliable articles from the painter's published works, added some letters, and compiled scattered short excerpts from his notebooks and sketchbooks, along with unpublished essays on art theory, philosophy, and literary topics, to create this book. The author of this book translated the materials published in the book based on the version of Clon, arranged them in chronological order, and compiled them into this volume. This book is divided into two parts: art criticism and previously unpublished materials by Delacroix, which hold very high reference value for the study of Delacroix.
