作品简介

埃德加·德加创作的一系列描绘妓院的独幅版画，在他生前从未公开展出过，这些作品一直被私密地保存在艺术家的画室里，直至他去世。

德加创作的这一系列描绘妓院的独幅版画，揭示了巴黎生活中一个鲜为人知的侧面。德加对这个主题的兴趣，与当时埃米尔·左拉以及埃德蒙和朱尔斯·德·龚古尔等作家在自然主义小说中探讨的妓女主题不谋而合，同时也呼应了当时关于巴黎妓院监管(或取缔)问题的社会热议。在这幅版画中，三位女性在一盏光芒四射的球形枝形吊灯下等待着她们的客人。其中一位站立的女性伸出左臂，仿佛在召唤一位看不见的来访者。

Edgar Degas's series of brothel monotypes was never exhibited during his lifetime and remained in the privacy of the artist's studio until his death.

Edgar Degas's series of monotypes depicting brothels depicted a hidden aspect of Parisian life. Degas's interest in the subject paralleled the theme of the prostitute in naturalist novels of the era by Emile Zola and Edmond and Jules de Goncourt, and echoed the then-contemporary debate about the regulation—or abolition—of prostitution in Paris. In this print, three women await their clients under a luminous globed chandelier. A standing figure reaches out her left arm as if to beckon an unseen visitor.
