Delacroix and the Matter of Finish Author: Eik Kahng

ISBN: 9780300199444 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 168 Published: 11 November 2013 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 29.2 x 24.1 x 2.3 Description: This groundbreaking publication centers on a previously unknown variation of Eugene Delacroix's (1798--1863) dramatic masterpiece The Last Words of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, published here for the first time. This book offers a compelling reassessment of the relationship of the artist, widely considered a primary exemplar of Romanticism, to Neoclassical themes, as demonstrated by his life-long fascination with the death of Marcus Aurelius. Through this investigation, the authors reinterpret Delacroix's lineage to such fellow artists as Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780--1867) and Jacques-Louis David (1748--1825). Playing on the various interpretations of the word "finish," the book also offers a fascinating account of Delacroix's famously troubled collaboration with his studio assistants, his conflicted feelings about pedagogy, and his preoccupation with the fate of civilizations.
