德加雕塑《小舞者》高清图片

作品简介

这座雕塑的模特是巴黎歌剧院芭蕾舞学校的一位名叫玛丽·范·戈特姆(Marie van Goethem)的年轻舞者。她和母亲以及两个妹妹住在巴黎蒙马特区德加公寓和工作室附近。德加大约在1878年创作了这件裸体习作。它作为那位舞者更大尺寸、着装版本的初步模型(即小稿)，而那个着装版本是德加一生中唯一展出过的雕塑作品。它引发了公众的强烈反响，因为人们认为玛丽既不够漂亮，也不是一位足够“重要”的舞者，不配成为雕塑的主题。这件青铜铸件的原始蜡模是在对玛丽进行了大量预备性研究之后制作的。她的姿势并未反映任何实际的芭蕾舞步或练习动作，但德加显然很喜欢这个姿势，因为它在其他作品中再次出现。

The model for this sculpture was a young dancer at the Paris Opéra Ballet School called Marie van Goethem. She lived near Degas’s apartment and studio in the Montmartre area of Paris with her mother and two sisters. Degas made this nude study around 1878. It acted as a maquette (preliminary model) for a larger, dressed version of the dancer, which was the only sculpture Degas ever exhibited in his lifetime. It provoked a fierce public reaction, as she was deemed neither beautiful or an ‘important’ enough dancer to be the subject of a sculpture. The original wax model for this bronze casting was made following numerous preparatory studies of Marie. Her pose does not reflect any actual ballet step or exercise, but he clearly liked the position as it re-appears in other work.
