Delacroix Socialized With George Sand And Victor Hugo, Engaged Baudelaire And Gauthier In Intense Philosophical Discussions About Art, And Maintained A Lively Interaction With The Press. As A Passionate Artist Who Sought To Make Money In A Politically Volatile Climate, Delacroix Managed To Create Works That Transcended The Ideology Of His Government Connections.Delacroix'S Famous Trip To Morocco, Which Had The Ironic Outcome Of Directing His Attention Away From Romanticism And Back Toward His Classical Roots, Is Analyzed In Detail. Considering Both Delacroix'S Training And Sources Of Inspiration, Jobert Shows How The Moroccan Journey Led The Artist To A Balanced Approach To His Art: The Classical Tradition He Had Never Totally Abandoned Was Permanently Combined With The Romanticism Of His Youth. Over The Long Span Of His Career, Delacroix Responded To The Literary Fascination With Orientalism, The Politics Of The Restoration And French Imperialism, And Popular Interest In Travel And Documentation. He Painted Everything From Sweeping Epic Tales To Intimate Interiors. Only Now Has The Scope And Scale Of Delacroix'S Oeuvre Come To Life In A Detailed And Uptodate Account For The Specialist And General Reader Alike.
