Description
The work "Equestrian fantasy with Lady Rosa" (1913) by Alice Bailly is a sublime sample of the indisputable talent of this Franco-Suble artist, who is recognized for her ability to experience and transcend the stylistic barriers of her time. When observing the painting, the vivacity and dynamism that impregnate it, characteristics inherent in the innovative approach of Bailly is immediately noticed.
The composition of the work is articulated around a female figure dressed in a pink dazzling, mounted on a horse in a scene that seems to be dreamlike rather than real. This "rose lady" stands as a visual care center thanks to its striking dress and the elegance of its position. The use of pink color not only stands out for its intensity, but also for the contrast it generates with the darkest and neutral tones that dance around it.
The horse, which accompanies this enigmatic lady, is represented with a certain abstraction, almost giving the impression of decomposing in shapes and colors that seem to move and change in a way that remembers cubism. However, unlike strict Cubism, Bailly does not completely disintegrate the forms, allowing the viewer to recognize and feel the energy of the animal and its rider. This method of representation suggests an influence of Fauvism, but without adhering completely to its norms.
The background and the surrounding elements, although less defined, contribute significantly to the sense of movement and fantasy. Spiral strokes and color splashes around the central figure suggest an effervescent atmosphere, almost as if they were wind swirls or echoes of invisible music. This type of ethereal atmosphere becomes a distinctive characteristic of Bailly's work, who sought to capture the dynamic essence of modern life.
Alice Bailly, born in 1872 in Geneva, Switzerland, was an artist who did not fear experimentation. Although it was initially formed in a more traditional style, her contact with the Parisian avant -garde at the beginning of the 20th century led her to explore new forms and techniques. His work with Fauvism and Cubism, as well as his flirting with futurism, demonstrates a clear will to innovate and reject established forms. Bailly incorporated these elements into his own visual language, combining bold colors and dynamic lines to create compositions that defy conventions and challenge the observer's perception.
"Equestrian fantasy with Lady Pink" not only stands out for its aesthetic attraction, but also because it encapsulates the spirit of a time of changes and experimentation. This painting is a reflection of the historical moment in which Bailly worked, an effervescent period full of new artistic and philosophical movements that questioned reality and perception.
In conclusion, this work by Alice Bailly is a clear testimony of her creative genius and her ability to merger disparate elements in a unique visual harmony. "Equestrian fantasy with Lady Pink" remains, more than a century after its creation, a piece that invites continuous contemplation and analysis, always revealing new nuances and secrets to those willing to get lost in their fantastic world.
