扬·范·比尔斯
绘制优雅巴黎风俗画
让·马里·康斯坦丁·约瑟夫·"扬"·范·贝尔斯是一位比利时画家和插画家,是诗人扬·范·贝尔斯的儿子。他们有时被称为老扬·范·贝尔斯和小扬·范·贝尔斯。1884年,扬·范·贝尔斯为他父亲的诗集豪华版绘制了钢笔墨水素描。 范·贝尔斯在安特卫普皇家美术学院学习。不久之后,他成为一群年轻艺术家的领袖,即"范·贝尔斯小圈子"。该团体包括艺术家皮特·韦尔哈特(1852–1908)、亚历山大·斯特鲁伊斯(1852–1941)和杰夫·兰博(1852–1908)。他们以顽皮和古怪的行为而闻名,包括穿着历史服装在安特卫普街头漫步。 范·贝尔斯以历史画家的身份开启职业生涯,创作了与文艺复兴时期相关的作品。其中包括《善良的查理葬礼》,这幅画作尺寸巨大且人物众多,以至于范·贝尔斯表示,尽管以12,000法郎的价格售出,他仅收回了制作成本。 In 1880 he moved to Paris and immediately abandoned historical pictures, producing instead genre and portrait works of the middle classes and developing a successful line in attractive draped young ladies reading a letter or a book or day-dreaming about a lover. Van Beers said that he wanted to paint what he saw and what were the best and most interesting things that one saw in Paris but her women? He explained in an 1893 interview for the Westminster Budget that "all my pictures are from models, and I know where to find them whenever I want them. It requires a good deal of diplomacy to get them to pose. One has to pet and coax them, and even then they often leave you in the lurch." 《名利场》在1891年刊登了一幅题为"现代的维埃茨"(安托万·维埃茨,1806–65)的漫画,以典型主题描绘了他。范·比尔斯的作品常与其比利时前辈相提并论,尤其是其中更为阴森和怪诞的元素。托马斯·哈代在其小说《德伯家的苔丝》中提到:"维埃茨博物馆中那些瞪视而可怖的姿态,以及范·比尔斯习作中的斜睨神情"。 范·贝尔斯的作品并不总是受到欢迎,他有时因庸俗而受到批评。1879年,于斯曼将范·贝尔斯提交给当年沙龙的作品描述为"疯狂的色彩、荒谬且疯狂的念头,古代与现代混杂在同一幅画布上的大杂烩"。 1881年,范·贝尔斯在布鲁塞尔沙龙展出了两幅作品,均采用其新的超写实微型风格绘制。其中一幅描绘游艇
