Eugegrave;ne Delacroix was highly influential in the 19th-century Romanticism art movement and is considered by many art historians to be the most important of the Romantic painters. Delacroix is often attributed with refining Romanticism; not only aesthetically but philosophically; as his work influenced not only art; but also literature. One of Delacroixrsquo;s best-known paintings; completed in 1830 and on the cover of this book; is Liberty Leading the People; which represents the Parisian people in their search for liberty; fraternity; and equality; a subject of great importance to the French nation on the heels of their revolution; which in turn followed closely and was inspired by the American Revolution. In 1832; Delacroix traveled to North Africa and Spain as part of a diplomatic mission to Morocco after the French acquisition of Algiers. He sought artistic inspiration; as well as an escape from stifling Parisian society. Delacroix wished to immerse himself in a more primitivemdash;socially and physicallymdash;environment in order to find new energy and subjects from which to create art. He produced over 100 works based on his experience in Morocco; furthering a new trend in art called Orientalism. Much of his work remains in French institutions. The Museum Eugegrave;ne Delacroix is housed in a small building attached to the Museacute;e du Louvre in Paris.

The Camera AsistantBy kaoskodeThis book is excellent I have been studying cinematography a while now and decided it was time to learn what it takes to be a camera assistant so I can start looking to get in at the bottom that leads to being a dp some day. Well you can not go wrong with this book it tells you the facts and in a very comprehensive manner but easy to understand. Best money I have spent in a while on the subject of the practical side of the business.
