  1. A follow-up to this, chasing Delacroix's quote back a year:

    Art critic Léon Peisse in 1849, in a review of a work by Delacroix:

    > La vérité esthétique n’est pas l’exactitude. (Aesthetic truth is not exactitude.)

    Then Delacroix writes in his journal in 1850, and says it better:

    > La froide exactitude n’est pas l’art. (Cold exactitude is not art.)
