穿红衣的年轻女子
皮埃尔-奥古斯特·雷诺阿 （1841-1919)
约1892年
布面油画
65.4厘米x 54.5厘米

在这幅作品中不难找到皮埃尔-奥古斯特·雷诺阿喜爱使用的元素，如“红色”“美丽服饰”“年经女性的肌肤”“沉静感”等。另外，黄色的帽子也扮演着非常重要的角色，它是经常在雷诺阿作品中出现的一个元素。

据准测，这幅作品是 19 世纪90年代前半段创作的，此时正值雷诺阿从所谓安格尔式的“古典时期”转型，并确立 “珍珠时期”新画风。雷诺阿终于为形成晚年的绘画风格而迈出了新的一步。

他已经不再使用19世纪80年代这一“古典时期”的画风，隐去了由严格线条构成的写实主义。在本作品中，这一点做得非常好，轮廓线流畅，色彩的运用突出，衣褶的颤动，人物和背景仿佛一同融进光中。

画中的女性是典型的“雷诺阿式女性”，她的形象柔和、眼神稳重，如同果实一般美好。画中人物和背景互相影响，仿佛在光中融为一体，并且不再使用远近法，空间近乎平面。画面的色彩也不受制于物体原本的色彩，色彩自身的美妙成为画家追求的主题。画作不是通过物体的形态，而是通过颜色的光彩带给人享受。

就像让·克莱在《印象派》一书中分析的那样，雷诺阿的作品应被评论作“印象派画家通过分解传统绘画方法获得全新视觉体验，并从中感到喜悦之情”。另外，这幅作品普有过从伯恩翰姆画廊、杜兰一鲁埃画廊等收集雷诺阿作品的顶级画商手中转出并公诸于世的经历。

Description

Young Woman in Red Dress
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919)
c. 1892
Oil on canvas
65.4 cm × 54.5 cm

In this painting you can find the elements favored by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, such as “red color,” “beautiful clothes,” “young woman’s skin,” and “calmness.” The yellow hat, one of the elements that often appears in Renoir’s painting, also plays a very important supporting part.

The early 1890s, when this work is thought to have been painted, was a time when Renoir was shifting from his “Ingresque” period (or dry period) to “pearly period,” a new style that he was establishing. He was taking a step forward that would eventually lead to the mature style of his later years.

The realistic style with firm, precise lines of his dry period in the 1880s already disappeared from the surfaces of his works, and as can be seen in this work, the contours are more fluid, the clothes are tinged with tremulous tones, and both figures and backgrounds seem to blend in to the light. Here, we see a typical fruit-like “Renoir’s woman” with a soft, gentle gaze. The figure and background interact with each other, as if they are merging in the light. The perspective disappears, and the space is painted almost flat.

The colors are not restricted to unique colors of objects. Representing the beauty of colors becomes the painter’s theme. This painting appeals to viewers with the radiance of the colors, not with the forms of objects.

As Jean Clay analyzed in her book Impressionism, these characteristics of Renoir’s works can be said as the joy of a completely new visual experience that Impressionists acquired by deconstructing traditional painting techniques. This work has a history of having been sold to the public from the largest art dealers, such as the Galerie Bernheim-Jeune and the Galerie Durand-Ruel, who dealt with Renoir’s paintings.
