德加色粉画《比赛前》超高清大图

作品简介

在创作这幅粉彩画所属的系列作品时，埃德加·德加受到了19世纪摄影师埃德沃德·迈布里奇（Eadweard Muybridge）的启发，迈布里奇曾尝试用静态图像记录动态。

德加在其整个艺术生涯中多次回归马与骑手这一主题。学者们认为，他最初是以木炭和粉彩画的形式完成了这幅由四位骑在马背上的骑手组成的构图的第一版。数年后，他重新勾勒了这一构图，并将其方向反转，从而创作出了这幅完成度极高的克利夫兰粉彩画。画中的色彩更加浓烈，第二位和第三位骑手之间的距离被拉大，地平线处的枝叶也被添加上去，以营造出春日繁茂的景象。
 

When creating the series to which this pastel belongs, Edgar Degas was inspired by the 19th-century photographer Eadweard Muybridge, who attempted to record motion in static images.
Degas returned to the theme of horse and rider time and again throughout his career. Scholars believe that he executed the first version of this composition of four jockeys on horseback in a charcoal and pastel drawing. Several years later, he traced the composition, reversing its orientation to create the highly finished Cleveland pastel. The palette is intensified, the distance between the second and third jockeys is increased, and the foliage along the horizon has been added to suggest a lush spring day.
