Subject
A note from LeRoy Neiman on Delacroix and visiting Paris.
Description
This note from LeRoy Neiman details in influence of Eugène Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People (1830) on his experience of Paris (and presumedly the work he made in the city as well). The writing—split into two portions—is fissured between a cursory formal analysis of Delacroix’s work and a humorous, autobiographical anecdote.

Liberty Leading the People.
Combining the real and the allegorical.
The contrast and sameness of spirit between a familiar liberation scene
50 years ago and the familiar heroic figure of Delacroix’s 1830 “Liberty leading the people.”
Delacroix figure with flag in the “Liberation of Paris” painting
Coming into Paris 1944 –
The Marley Horses were down
I didn’t know where.
The horses on the Carousel were up there – (same as Venice)
