Eugène Delacroix French
Not on view
Delacroix filled seven sketchbooks during his six months of travel through North Africa and Spain in 1832. Many of his drawings from the trip appear to have been jotted extremely quickly and carry minimal visual information, yet Delacroix believed strongly in their potency. "Learn to draw," he wrote, "and in returning from travel, you will carry with you memories. . . . That simple mark of the pencil . . . recalls, along with the place that struck you, all the associations connected with it . . . a thousand delicious impressions."
