EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Boris Dmitryevich Grigoriev's masterpiece "Au cirque" or "In the Circus" a stunning oil on canvas painting created around 1908. The artwork, measuring 50x62 cm, is housed in the prestigious State F Shalyapin Museum in Moscow. Grigoriev's composition transports us to the enchanting world of the circus, where acrobats defy gravity and clowns bring joy to spectators. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork capture the essence of this lively scene from early 20th century Russia. What makes this artwork particularly intriguing is its surprising blend of eroticism and humor. In one corner, we see a woman with her back turned, wearing only underwear and stockings. This unexpected element adds an air of sensuality to an otherwise light-hearted setting. The artist cleverly plays with our expectations by juxtaposing traditional circus elements with subtle hints of nudity. It challenges societal norms while maintaining a playful tone that keeps viewers engaged. As we observe the audience depicted in Grigoriev's painting, their expressions range from shock to amusement at this unexpected twist. Through his masterful technique and attention to detail, he invites us into this moment of surprise and delight. Overall, this remarkable piece by Boris Dmitryevich Grigoriev captures both the spirit of early 20th-century Russian artistry as well as the timeless allure of circus performances.
