<div><font face=Lato size=3 color="#191919">As the idea of using drawings, whether in pencil or pastel to prepare a painting was at odds with Monet’s publicised creative process, he tended to downplay its importance in his work. However, after his death eight folios containing over four hundred drawings came to light as well as many pastels. This convenient and lightweight medium allowed him to experiment with composition and colour and develop ideas for his oil paintings at speed. He also used pastel to produce finished pictures, as in this example.</font></div><br><br><div><font face=Lato size=3 color="#191919"> </font></div><br><br><div><font face=Lato size=3 color="#191919">During the 1880s Monet returned to the Normandy coast. He found inspiration in the sparkling light and famous limestone cliffs, as had Delacroix and Courbet. As well as working directly in oils, he followed Boudin’s example and used black chalk and pastel to study the effects of light and colour on the sky, sea and land.</font></div><br><br><div><font face=Lato size=3 color="#191919"> </font></div><br><br><div><font face=Lato size=3 color="#191919">In this seascape at Etretat, twenty miles round the coast to the north of Le Havre, Monet has chosen an unusual composition, dividing the landscape down the centre with the vertiginous cliffs; the left half of the picture composed of earthy greens and browns, the right half a sun dappled sea that dissolves into the sky, the horizon only suggested by the lightest touch of charcoal. This picture has a marked difference in atmosphere to another pastel of the nearby Porte d’Aval, dateable to the same period, whose late afternoon sky shows the range of expression that could be achieved with pastel. By the summer of 1885 the year he made this pastel Monet had largely abandoned urban subjects, and was more drawn towards natural phenomena. He painted many views along the coast under different light conditions. As noted in the catalogue raisonné on Monet, this pastel is not a preparatory study for an oil painting, but a wholly original composition. It demonstrates how well the painter understood and enjoyed the versatility of the medium when trying to capture such variable weather.</font></div> <div><font face=Lato size=3 color="#191919">As the idea of using drawings, whether in pencil or pastel to prepare a painting was at odds with Monet’s publicised creative process, he tended to downplay its importance in his work.

由于使用素描(无论是铅笔还是粉彩)作为绘画准备工作的做法与莫奈公开宣扬的创作过程相悖,他往往淡化其在创作中的重要性。然而在他去世后,八册收录逾四百幅素描的画册与大量粉彩画得以面世。这种便捷轻巧的媒介使他得以快速尝试构图与色彩,为油画创作构思。他也用粉彩创作完成作品,如本例所示。


 


1880年代,莫奈重返诺曼底海岸。璀璨的光影与著名的石灰岩峭壁激发了他的创作灵感,正如德拉克罗瓦和库尔贝当年所经历的那样。除了直接使用油画创作外,他还效仿布丹的做法,运用黑色粉笔和粉彩研究光线与色彩在天空、海洋和陆地上的表现效果。


 


在这幅描绘勒阿弗尔以北二十英里埃特雷塔海岸的风景画中,莫奈采用了独特的构图:以令人眩晕的悬崖将画面中分两半——左侧以大地般的绿褐色调铺陈,右侧则是阳光斑驳的海面渐次融入天际,地平线仅以最轻柔的炭笔触暗示。 此作与同期创作的邻近作品《阿瓦尔港》氛围迥异,后者描绘黄昏时分的天空,展现了粉彩技法所能达到的丰富表现力。1885年夏,莫奈创作此作时已基本摒弃城市题材,转而倾心于自然现象。他沿海岸线创作了多幅不同光照条件下的风景画。 正如莫奈作品全集所记载,这幅粉彩画并非油画的习作,而是完全原创的构图。它展现了画家如何深刻理解并享受这种媒介的多样性,从而精准捕捉多变的天气。
