In 1832 Delacroix travelled to Morocco and filled small notebooks with whatever was in front of him. Quick ink drawings, a wash of colour, and notes to himself squeezed into the gaps. A wall painted yellow. A dress in a very bright pink. Half a figure, three lines and done. None of it is finished. It was never meant to be. He was collecting. Years later he wrote: "I began to make something tolerable of my African journey only when I had forgotten the trivial details and remembered nothing but the striking and the poetic side of the subject. Up to that time, I had been haunted by this passion for accuracy that most people mistake for truth." 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝. 𝙂𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙟𝙤𝙗.

She kept it through the last ten years of her life, much of that time in bed after the accident that shattered her spine. Some pages burst with colour and figures. Others are almost entirely handwriting, sprawling right across the paper. On one of them she sat testing her coloured pencils and wrote down what each one meant to her. Not the names, the meanings. Green, warm good light. Yellow, madness and sickness and fear, and also part of the sun and of joy. Blue, electricity and purity, and distance, and tenderness can be this blue too. She wasn't making any of it for us. She was putting down what was in her, on whatever page came next. And across the top of one spread, in her own handwriting, she titled it 𝘮𝘪 𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭. My real world. Your sketchbook is allowed to hold the words too. Some days that's the whole entry. 🖤 𝘗𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘢 𝘒𝘢𝘩𝘭𝘰, 𝘤.1944–1954. 𝘐𝘯𝘬, 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘳.
