Texts, p166 (B,C,D)
B
"Портрет Сары Сиддонс", написанный великим художником Томасом Гейнсборо, является не только великолепным произведением искусства, но и уникальной интерпретацией уникальной личности этой актрисы. Это не только один из лучших портретов художника, но и один из лучших портретов великой трагической актрисы, которая позировала для большинства знаменитых художников своего времени. Картина была написана в 1783-1785 годах, когда королеве «трагической драмы» было 29 лет и она находилась в зените своей славы. Восторженный поклонник, который увидел ее на Манчестерской выставке 1857 года, писал следующее: "Великая трагическая актриса, которая с такой энергией и с таким чувством истолковывала страсти и которая сама так сильно их чувствовала, лучше изображается в этом простом полупальто в своем дневном платье, чем в аллегорических портретах как трагическая муза или в характерных частях. Этот портрет настолько оригинален, настолько индивидуален, как поэтическое выражение характера, как преднамеренный выбор позы, так и смелый цвет, и свободное обращение, что он не похож ни на одну работу другого художника.
C
"Шлюз и мельница в Дедхэме"
Это потрясающий пример поздних пейзажных картин, которые писал Констебл. Заметные черты ландшафта обработаны в резком рельефе-даже те, которые не являются строго необходимыми и все же они прекрасно сливаются под безмятежным, совершенным светом. Эта картина содержит в себе все элементы пейзажа, которые Джон Констебл любил больше всего: река, лодки, мокрые бревна, речную растительность, солнце, сияющее сквозь листву высоких деревьев, сельскую жизнь и, прежде всего, мельницу в Дэдхэме. Культурные истоки этой работы очевидны и в традиционной композиции, и в использовании светотени, и в том, как пейзаж исчезает вдалеке, по голландской манере, и в сложной, напряженной палитре. Плотная древесная масса на переднем плане загораживает небо, наполненное движением, отражается в спокойных и прозрачных водах, над которыми играет бледное солнце, тоже самое мы можем увидеть в картинах, которые пишет Якоб Исаакс ван Рёйсдал.
D
Я питаю привязанность к Констеблу, которая восходит еще к моим самым ранним воспоминаниям. Помню, что в первые годы моего детства в залах отцовского дома висела большая стальная гравюра "Кукурузное поле". Довольно часто долгим жарким летом на Среднем Западе я лежал на полу, часами вглядываясь в этот английский пейзаж, перенесенный из сухого и обжигающего мира вокруг меня в мир благословенной прохлады, густой зелени, сырости и вечного покоя. Я жил в этой картине. Для меня это было прекраснее сна: мальчик, распластавшийся на земле и пьющий воду из бегущего ручья; овчарка, терпеливо ожидающая с повернутой головой; неспешное стадо; старые молчаливые деревья; пышные облака, источающие влагу...Несколько лет спустя, приехав в Лондон изучать картины, я увидел "Кукурузное поле" и другие работы Джона Констебла, и мои первые впечатления подтвердились. В своем понимании стабильного, можно даже сказать грозного покоя, который человек ощущает в присутствии природы, и в общении с духовным умиротворением, вызванным общением с природой, Джон Констебл является мастером английской школы.
