Ideas and Concepts:
Book tip via tonight's Sexing the Canvas course: "Delacroix In Morocco is a sensual, impressive, scholarly, biographical, and readable book on Delacroix's remarkable work in Morocco in the 1830's. Eugene Delacroix left a wan Paris winter for a six-month adventure in North Africa. He was 35 years old, had experienced a queasy mix of acclaim and derision at the Salons, and was restless for adventure. His itinerary took him from Tangiers on an epic journey inland to visit the sultan and a stopover that included a harem visit in Algiers. In the end, he filled seven notebooks with drawings, watercolors and notes on the people, architecture and accouterments of Moroccan life."
Masters of art influenced by masters of art, via tonight's Sexing the Canvas course: "In 1834, Delacroix painted Women of Algiers in Paris, described by Paul Cezanne "all this luminous color, it seems to me that it enters the eye like a glass of wine running into your gullet making you drunk straight away" and curator Alfred Barr on Picasso's Les Femmes d'Alger (Version A), "great emphasis on ornament, arabesque, simplification"."
