The Jockey, 1899. Creator: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864-1901)
The Jockey, 1899. Motivated by the popularity of the races, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec executed this lithograph both in colour, seen here, and in black and white. He intended to publish the colour version in a portfolio of horse-racing subjects, but the project never came to fruition and Jockey was published alone. The artists admiration for Edgar Degass horse-racing pictures is clear in Jockey, and he shared Degass appreciation of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints. Particular elements of the lithograph reveal the influence of the Japanese woodcut: the overall flatness; the daring cropping--particularly of the background horse whose head and hindquarters have been omitted; the pale green hue of the grass and the blue-violet sky; and the dramatic, rushing perspective of the horses galloping into the distance. However, the younger artist incorporated the Japanese aesthetic into his own visual language in an entirely original way. Unlike Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec ignored Eadweard Muybridges photographs and depicted his horse and rider in the physically impossible " flying-gallop" position
