德加油画芭蕾舞者《演出前》高清图片

作品简介

对于德加晚期的作品而言，这幅画作的画布尺寸相对较小。实际上，画中一些舞者的姿势让人回想起他19世纪70年代早期创作的芭蕾舞画作。画面中，一群舞者在舞台上为即将到来的表演做准备：她们练习着各自的姿势，其中一位芭蕾舞女演员俯身系鞋带。这些舞者并非具体的个体，而是他曾经目睹过的场景中那些没有面容的回忆片段。画面色彩鲜明生动，却又不失非现实感，营造出剧院煤气灯所特有的超现实效果。舞台上大片区域的阴影区域也颇具抽象意味。显然，到了19世纪90年代末，德加已不再像早年那样关注自然主义。他处理油画颜料的方式极为细腻，几乎如同使用水粉颜料一般。

This is a relatively small canvas for Degas’s late work, and indeed, some of the dancers’ poses look back to his earlier ballet pictures from the 1870s. Here, a group of dancers are on stage preparing themselves for the impending performance: they practise their positions and one ballerina stoops to tie her shoe. The dancers are not individuals, but faceless memories of a scene he had once observed. The vivid colours are vibrant and unrealistic, evoking the surreal effects produced by the gas lights of the theatre. Pools of shadow on the large expanse of stage are also rather abstract, and it is clear that by the late 1890s, Degas was far less concerned with naturalism than in his former years. His treatment of the oil paint is very delicate, almost as if it were gouache.
