History
In the years 1908-1918, the painting “Girls in Black” was in the collection of the Moscow merchant and collector Sergey Schukin . In 1918 it was transferred to the 1st Museum of New Western Painting . In 1923, it was merged with the 2nd Museum of Western Painting , and as a result, the State Museum of New Western Art (GMNZI) was established, in which the painting was located until its abolition in 1948. After that, the picture was transferred to the Pushkin Museum , where it still remains [5] .
Description
This double portrait depicts young Parisians , inhabitants of Montmartre , both in black dresses and black hats. One of the girls is sitting facing the viewer, leaning on the back of a chair, while the other is standing sideways, leaning toward the first. In the early 1880s, the color of Renoir’s paintings changed significantly - in particular, instead of black, the artist uses a combination of spectral tones, blue ( ultramarine ) and red ( kraplak ) [2] .
According to art critic Mikhail Lebedyansky [6] [7] ,
| Everything is written as if Renoir created just the look of a young Parisian woman - charming, dreamy, beautiful, fashionable, but rather modestly dressed. The artist painted her dark dress in her waist in a thick even dark blue color, avoiding small movements with a brush, typical of his earlier works. "Girls in black" appear before us as young beautiful women, and, looking at them, I just want the most ordinary world to become as festive and beautiful as the artist saw it ... |
