This groundbreaking publication centers on a previously unknown variation of Eugène Delacroix's (1798-1863) dramatic masterpiece The Last Words of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, published here for the first time. This book offers a compelling reassessment of the relationship of the artist, widely considered a primary exemplar of Romanticism, to Neoclassical themes, as demonstrated by his life-long fascination with the death of Marcus Aurelius. Through this investigation, the authors reinterpret Delacroix's lineage to such fellow artists as Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780-1867) and Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825). Playing on the various interpretations of the word "finish," the book also offers a fascinating account of Delacroix's famously troubled collaboration with his studio assistants, his conflicted feelings about pedagogy, and his preoccupation with the fate of civilizations.

Hardcover. Etat : New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. New Haven: Yale University Press / Santa Barbara Museum of Art, 2013. First edition. First printing. Hardcover. Very Fine, issued without a dust jacket. A pristine unread copy, still in publisher's original shrink-wrap. Publisher's original dark color-illustrated boards with white lettering. Octavo, 165 pages on heavy stock, with 45 color plates. DELACROIX AND THE MATTER OF FINISH accompanied exhibitions of the same title held in Santa Barbara, California, and Birmingham, Alabama, between October 2013 and May 2014. The catalogue presents the discovery of a major painting by Eugène Delacroix an easel-size variation of The Last Words of Marcus Aurelius, authenticated and curated by Eik Kahng. The book also examines the artist's lifelong struggle with the idea of "finish." Critics often charged that Delacroix was incapable of bringing his canvases to full completion, but Kahng's study reconsiders that claim by asking whether smaller versions of known monumental works were preparatory, retrospective, or commemorative. A complex and beautifully illustrated catalogue that redefines the painter's technique and artistic legacy. YALE. N° de réf. du vendeur FLAHIVE-UNIVERSITY-37

Hardcover. Etat : As New. Dark, color-illus. boards with white lettering. 165 pp. with 45 color plates. Very nice, thick paper. Catalogue which accompanied the exhibitions of the same title in Santa Barbara, California and Birmingham, Alabama, between October 2013 and May 2014. A complex catalogue/exhibition with two purposes: first, the discovery and viewing of a major painting by Delacroix, an easel-size variation of The Last Words of Marcus Aurelius, of which Dr. Kahng was both authenticator and curator. Second, the matter of the finishing of Delacroix's paintings. Critics maintained that he was "incapable of bringing his canvases to a sufficient state of finish. His ideas, while often engaging and original, were therefore just that - ideas that he was technically incapable of realizing through the painter's usual illusionistic meanns.But how are we to to classify smaller-scale versions of known, monumental canvases? How are we to determine if they are preparatory, and, therefore, predate their monumental, finished counterparts? Or are such smaller versions aide-memoires, done, perhaps, to record beloved subjects once they departed the studio. Does the degree of finish enable us to make this determination for an artist who famously eluded normative notions of finish?" A compelling catalogue, beautifully illustrated.
