作品介绍
机器翻译
《破晓》是美国艺术家马克斯菲尔德-帕里什于1922年创作的一幅画。《破晓》的灵感来自佛蒙特州和新罕布什尔州的风景，创造出郁郁葱葱的浪漫色调，被认为是20世纪最受欢迎的艺术印刷品，根据印刷品的数量：每四个美国家庭就有一个。根据美国国家插图博物馆的数据，它的销量超过了安迪-沃霍尔的《金宝汤罐》和达芬奇的《最后的晚餐》。它仍在印刷中。这幅画也是20世纪20年代初开始兴起的新古典主义流行画的核心部分。他的主打风格的作品也因他在1930年代绘制的大型壁画而得到普及。
帕里什将《破晓》称为他的 “伟大的绘画”，是他作品的缩影。
作品构成
这幅画尺寸为26.5×45英寸（67.3厘米×114厘米），采用了类似于舞台布景的正式布局，有两个女性形象。画作使用的是预备照片，模特是他的固定模特Kitty Owen（William Jennings Bryan的孙女），Parrish的女儿Jean和Susan Lewin。尽管铅笔研究和负片空间表明，艺术家最初打算在右边的柱子附近增加第三个人物，但在完成的画作中只有两个人物出现。构图是按照杰伊-汉比奇推广的 “动态对称 “原则安排的。
媒介和技术
这幅20世纪的作品被称为 “伟大的绘画”，是用油画颜料创作的。上釉技术，即在几层油漆上同时使用清漆，有助于实现帕里什非常有名的柔和光芒和异想天开的风格。利用灯光和自然模型的优势，帕里什能够为这两个女人描绘出一个宁静的环境，同时保持他的基调，即略微超出常规的新古典主义风格。在看帕里什当时的其他作品时，他不断使用温和的灯光和使用对比强烈的冷暖色调，可以看出这就是帕里什创造他的标志性风格的方式。像许多艺术家一样，帕里什也使用了黄金比例；这是一种使用数学的技术，有助于将柱子和绿色植物框起来，使这幅画中的两个人物成为最大的焦点。虽然帕里什的技术可能很乏味，但几乎每一个你能说出名字的幻想插画师都借用了麦克斯菲尔德-帕里什的技术和风格，确保他的愿景得以延续。
创纪录的购买价格
这幅画一直都是私人拥有。2006年5月25日，《破晓》在佳士得拍卖会上被一位私人收藏家（梅尔-吉布森当时的妻子罗宾）以760万美元买下。这创造了帕里什画作的价格记录。2010年5月21日，它又以520万美元售出。
原文
Daybreak is a painting by American artist Maxfield Parrish made in 1922. Daybreak, inspired by the landscape of Vermont and New Hampshire to create lush and romantic tones, is regarded as the most popular art print of the 20th century, based on number of prints made[citation needed]: one for every four American homes. According to the National Museum of American Illustration, it has outsold Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans and Da Vinci’s Last Supper. It is still in print. The painting is also part of the core of the neo-classical popular paintings that started to gain traction at the beginning of the 1920s. His work in his staple style was also popularized by the large scale murals he painted in the 1930s.
Parrish referred to Daybreak as his “great painting”, the epitome of his work.
Composition
Measuring 26.5 by 45 inches (67.3 cm × 114 cm), the painting employs a formal layout similar to a stage set, with two feminine figures. Painted using preparatory photographs, the models were his regular models, Kitty Owen (granddaughter of William Jennings Bryan), Parrish’s daughter Jean, and Susan Lewin. Only two figures appear in the completed painting, though pencil studies and negative space indicate that the artist originally intended a third near the righthand column. The composition is arranged on the principle of “dynamic symmetry” popularized by Jay Hambidge.
Medium and Technique
Referred to as “The Great Painting”,[citation needed] this 20th century work was created by using oil paints. The technique of glazing, using a varnish over several layers of paint at once helps to achieve the soft glow and whimsical style Parrish is so well known for. Using lighting and natural models to his advantage Parrish is able to depict a serene setting for the two women, while keeping his tone of slightly out of the ordinary and neo-classic style. In looking at the other works from Parrish at the time his constant use of mild lighting and the use of contrasting cool and warm tones, it can be seen that this is how Parrish created his signature style. Like many artists Parrish also makes use of the Golden Ratio; a technique using math that helps frame the pillars and greenery to add the most focus on the two figures in this painting. While Parrish’s techniques may have been tedious, almost every single fantasy illustrator you can name borrows from the technique and style of Maxfield Parrish, ensuring that his visions live on.
Record purchase price
The painting has always been in private ownership. On May 25, 2006, Daybreak was purchased by a private collector (Mel Gibson’s then-wife, Robyn) at auction at Christie’s for US $7.6 million. This set a record price for a Parrish painting. It was sold again on May 21, 2010, for US$5.2 million.（维基百科）
