Towards the Freedom
by Hideo Yokokawa
with Delacroix
July Revolution 1830, when
Fedinand Victor Eugene Delacroix was
32 years of age.
"Why shouldn't I stand up either?"
He confronted the canvas with
the fervor of masses that long for liberty .
His fresh sense, sharp brain, proficient talent,
love of motherland, irrepressible passion?
?- the beautiful.
Everything was mobilized and the drama was
painted,
sealed up throughout the canvas.
