Eugène Delacroix Livres

Maurice Denis’s esteem for Eugène Delacroix is well known and has often been discussed: Denis celebrated his predecessor for both his painting and his writing. He also admired Delacroix’s stance as an artist dedicated to a personal ideal, and in the early 1920s he set off to North Africa, in Delacroix’s footsteps.Denis played a crucial role in saving Delacroix’s last studio and creating the Musée Delacroix. He was president of the first Société des Amis d’Eugène Delacroix (Friends of Eugène Delacroix association) and succeeded in rallying to the cause the greatest painters of the 1920s, among them Henri Matisse, Edouard Vuillard, and Paul Signac. The significance of his commitment to Delacroix’s oeuvre has never been gone into, except tangentially.Drawing on the connections between the Musée Delacroix and the Maurice Denis archives, this project will help foreground the painters’ respective oeuvres and underscore the influence, in the early 20th century, of the Delacroix corpus on artists born after his death. It will also offer, after the renovation of Delacroix’s apartment and a fresh interpretative approach, a new vision of the museum and its early years.Based on close study and analysis of the Musée Delacroix archives, the exhibition will also present major works by Denis in interaction with those of Delacroix.

The book is published for a special exhibition "Eugène Delacroix" at the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe from November 1, 2003, to February 1, 2004. A paperback edition is available.

Méphisto rend parfois visite au Seigneur, qui ne dédaigne pas de parler au diable. Surtout s'il s'agit de Faust, ce savant, ce magicien... Satan aimerait tellement le tenter, le faire trébucher, gagner son âme pour l'éternité ! Et Dieu y consent. Car c'est le rôle du démon d'aiguillonner l'homme pour l'empêcher de sombrer dans la paresse. Méphisto approche alors Faust sous la forme d'un chien noir. Entre eux deux, c'est le grand marchandage. Le Malin offre au docteur la jeunesse, la puissance et la gloire. Celui-ci promet de se donner au diable si d'aventure quelque chose sur cette terre le retient ! Pari téméraire ! Lorsque après avoir bu le philtre de la sorcière, Faust découvre Marguerite dans sa beauté parfaite, il est prêt à se damner...

Während über vierzig Jahren führte der französische Maler Eugène Delacroix regelmäßig Tagebuch. Seine Bemerkungen und kritischen Betrachtungen über das geistige Leben seiner Zeit lesen sich heute wie ein Führer durch die Kunst der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts.
