The Restless Eye: Eugène Delacroix - Currently UnavailableCurator's Comments: Makes good use of the artist's journals and sketchbooks to create a well-rounded account of his life and work. Shows how the violence and extravagant romantic gestures in his public paintings echoed his era. Offers excellent critiques of many paintings, demonstrating his attempts to perfect his technique and to free himself from influences of David and Géricault. Archival photographs and live-action footage of present-day Paris and countryside are effectively used to illustrate quotations from his journals. DATE: 1980 COUNTRY: Great Britain; Federal Republic of Germany CREDITS: PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: TOPICS:
