Eternity Has No Door of Escape: Encounters with Outsider Art - DVD

Henri Toulouse-Lautrec was a tragic figure in the history of art. His dissolute life spent in the brothels and nightclubs of late 19th century Paris provided the subject matter for his finest work. His boldly-colored paintings and posters of the famous Moulin Rouge nightclub succeeded in conveying the feeling of contemporary Parisian nightlife.

Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) was one of the leading protagonists of 20th century arts. He was a painter, sculptor, architect, poet and playwright, as well as a utopian romantic, subverting and transforming everything he touched into art. This DVD provides a complete look at the works of the German artist, now best known for his collages and junk sculpture. This program also includes many of Schwitters' most famous creations filmed during an exhibition of his works at the George Pompidou Museum.

Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863) bridged the Old Masters and French Romanticism, influencing Impressionists like Renoir, Cezanne, and Matisse. Mastering pen, watercolor, pastel, and oil, he created works inspired by history, contemporary events, and literature. His subjects ranged from flowers to saints, warriors, and hunting scenes with tigers, making him one of the most outstanding and versatile artists in French history.
