"Edgar Degas' Before the Race (c. 1887–1889), held at the Cleveland Museum of Art, is a celebrated example of his work centered on the theme of horse racing. Degas, known for his keen interest in capturing movement and the human form, frequently explored the world of horse racing, producing a series of paintings, drawings, and sculptures that depict this dynamic subject.
Subject: The painting portrays a group of horses and jockeys in the moments leading up to a race. The scene is one of preparation and anticipation, with the horses depicted in various stances, some in motion, others standing still, as their riders ready them for the race. Degas captures the tension and energy of this pre-race moment, focusing on the interactions between the jockeys and their mounts.
Composition:
Horses and Jockeys: The horses dominate the composition, arranged in a dynamic yet balanced manner. The jockeys, dressed in brightly colored silks, are shown either guiding their horses or in conversation, adding to the sense of a fleeting moment captured just before the race begins.
Background: The background is relatively simple, emphasizing the figures of the horses and jockeys. Degas often used a blurred or simplified background to direct attention to the foreground action. The setting suggests an outdoor racetrack, with the horizon line low in the composition, allowing the sky to occupy a large portion of the space, adding to the sense of openness.
Color and Light: Degas uses a subdued yet rich color palette, with earthy tones for the horses contrasted by the vibrant silks of the jockeys. The light in the painting is soft and even, highlighting the forms without creating harsh shadows, contributing to the naturalism of the scene.
Technical Information:
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: Approximately 27 x 41 inches (68.6 x 104.1 cm)
Date: c. 1887–1889
Artistic Significance:
Degas’ Before the Race exemplifies his fascination with capturing motion and the nuances of the human and animal form in a moment of poised action. His ability to convey the tension and energy of the scene through composition and color is notable.
The painting also reflects Degas' interest in unconventional perspectives and his use of cropping, which gives the composition a spontaneous, almost photographic quality, showing his engagement with modern visual techniques of his time.
Current Location:
Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio: Before the Race is part of the museum's esteemed collection of 19th-century European art. The Cleveland Museum of Art is known for its diverse and high-quality collection, making it a fitting home for this significant work by Degas.
Before the Race (c. 1887–1889) at the Cleveland Museum of Art is a notable work within Edgar Degas’ oeuvre, showcasing his skill in depicting movement, tension, and the atmosphere of the horse racing world. The painting is appreciated for its dynamic composition, the subtle interplay of light and color, and Degas' innovative approach to capturing a moment in time."
