马戏团杂耍

Georges Seurat French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 825

修拉精美准确的点彩画技法赋予这幅画一种超越时间的神秘感。图上描绘了巴黎科尔维马戏团大门口的杂耍演员表演的情景。九盏闪烁的煤气灯发出朦胧的光线，一位领班（右边）和几位乐师（左边）站在有矮栏干的舞台上，为前面聚集的可能会购票的观众表演，人群中各式各样的帽子为前景增添了一个滑稽而有节奏的细节。修拉从1887年春季开始这项工作，那时他给费尔南德·科尔维的巡回马戏团画速写，这个马戏团设在巴黎一个劳工阶层的街区。他在几幅初步草图的基础上构思出这幅画的结构。《马戏团杂耍》是修拉短暂的画家生涯中六幅主要的人物作品之一，这幅画的特色在于这是修拉第一幅夜景画，也是他第一次以大众娱乐为题材。
