埃德加·德加速写素描《马与骑手》高清图片

作品简介

德加的这幅素描《绅士骑手》影射了障碍赛马这一时尚赛事，在该赛事中，骑手并非专业骑师，而是所谓的“绅士”。在这幅作品中，德加展现出他对运动中马匹解剖结构的持续兴趣，就像对待舞者的动作一样，他饶有兴致地修改着马匹后腿的位置。头戴高礼帽的骑手仅是一个如鬼魅般的影子——显然，是马匹而非骑手激发了艺术家的创作灵感。

Degas’s drawing Gentleman Rider alludes to the steeplechase, a fashionable race in which the riders were not professional jockeys but, instead, “gentlemen.” Here, Degas demonstrated his unceasing interest in the horse’s anatomy in motion, playfully revising the position of the animal’s hind legs, as he would a dancer’s. The top-hatted rider remains a ghostly shadow—it is clearly the horse rather than its rider who captured the artist’s imagination.
