Abstract

This essay focuses on the Morgan Library and Museum’s recently acquired drawing Bathers (1886–87), made in preparation for Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s painting The Great Bathers (1885–87; Philadelphia Museum of Art). It is the first in-depth study of the drawing and also reexamines the artist’s process in developing and refining his celebrated painting. Considering the visual and written sources of Renoir’s creative processes as well as the artist’s intellectual concerns during the mid-1880s, I discuss Bathers together with Renoir’s other large-scale preparatory figure drawings, which adopted similar graphic techniques. I hope not only to clarify the chronology of Renoir’s production of The Great Bathers but also to offer a fresh appraisal of the role drawing played in Renoir’s working practice in the decade following his emergence as one of the leading figures in the Impressionist movement.

雷诺阿的《沐浴者》(为伟大的沐浴者而作的研究):摩根图书馆和博物馆的最新藏品

本文的重点是摩根图书馆和博物馆最近获得的绘画《沐浴者》(1886-87)，为皮埃尔-奥古斯特·雷诺阿的绘画《伟大的沐浴者》(1885-87;费城艺术博物馆)。这是对这幅画的第一次深入研究，也重新审视了艺术家在发展和完善他的著名画作的过程。考虑到雷诺阿创作过程的视觉和文字来源，以及艺术家在19世纪80年代中期的智力关注，我将《沐浴者》与雷诺阿采用类似图形技术的其他大型预备人物画一起讨论。我不仅希望阐明雷诺阿创作《伟大的沐浴者》的年代，而且希望对绘画在雷诺阿成为印象派运动的领军人物之一后的十年里在他的工作实践中所起的作用提供一个新的评价。
