Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863) was a French Romantic artist and a leader of the French Romantic school. His expressive brushwork and study of color optics significant influence on the later Impressionist movement. A list of the works in the exhibition precedes a list of the plates. As noted by the title, all of the works in the show came from West Coast collections. Most of the prints came from the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts and the California Palace of the Legion of Honor.
