Blog VIII... Eugene Delacroix:"A Passionate, Romantic Traveler"

"IN LOVE WITH PASSION, IN LOVE WITH LIFE, IN LOVE WITH HIS WORK..."
"COLOR ALWAYS OCCUPIES ME, BUT DRAWING PREOCCUPIES ME"... Eugene Delacroix: He meant what he said, an artist passionate about his job, he did what he loved to do do, Drawing, painting and traveling. Started his career in France but traveled to different countries in search for inspiration.

While in England Delacroix Illustrated some of Shakespeare's novels, and trough out his visits to different countries always expressed the way he perceived their cultures: His paintings are Dramatic and Romantic, emotional perhaps, he captures peoples feelings with the emphasis on color and movement that we see in most of his paintings, every single one of his pieces has a very deep a real message, just reading about the message behind the "LIBERTY LEADING PEOPLE" is a whole experience capable of feel the emotions behind this piece.
