(Paul George) Delacroix Masterpieces in Colour Produced by Al Haines "Delacroix" by Paul G. Konody is a biography written in the early 20th century that focuses on the life and work of the influential French painter Eugène Delacroix, who lived from 1798 to 1863. The book highlights Delacroix's contributions to Romanticism in art, his innovative use of color, and the struggle he faced against academic convention during his career. As a seminal figure in the history of modern painting, the work discusses his legacy and lasting impact on various artistic movements. The biography provides a comprehensive overview of Delacroix's life, including his artistic development, key influences, and major works. Konody elaborates on significant paintings such as "Dante and Virgil," "The Death of Sardanapalus," and "The Massacre of Scio," illustrating how Delacroix's emotional intensity and bold color choices set him apart from his contemporaries. The book also examines the public's controversial reception of Delacroix's art, his affection for literature—especially Shakespeare and Byron—and his travels, which deeply influenced his style. Through a detailed exploration of these themes, Konody presents a nuanced portrait of Delacroix as both an artist and a visionary who pioneered a new approach to painting.
