DelacroixHuman and Animal Movement Expressed in Drawings Delacroix, along with his colleagues Barye, the animal sculptor, and Géricault, the inveterate painter and rider of horses, was obsessed by animals. For these artists, as sometimes for Stubbs in England, animals were a key symbol of Romanticism, representing force and instinct as opposed to human civilization and rationality. Stunning sequences of animal drawings feature in this film. There is no narration. `Delacroix is magic. We seem to be sharing the artist's most intimate thoughts in a strange land where the creativity of Delacroix is perfectly matched with the equally creative powers of the film-maker ... a very strong feeling for the artist's style, ideas, and moods ... notable for unity of purpose and coherence, for synchronization of visuals and music ... shows real feeling for the artist.'
