专家说明

En el viñedo, 1920 is a beautifully depicted image of two women gathering grapes in a vineyard. It was executed in Paris, after the artist's cubist period and his short quest in fauvist landscapes. In contrast, it is executed in a gentle and restrained palette in ochre and reds. Likewise, it is more realistic in style, leaving aside some of the cubist concerns with regard to the construction of space. In 1919, Rivera becomes very interested in Renoir's sensuous depiction of the subject and En el viñedo masterfully demonstrates this fascination. It also shows the artist's awareness of the every day as an important subject matter in modern art.

In 1921, Rivera returned to Mexico and was soon involved with the muralist activities supported by the Mexican government. En el viñedo apparently embodies some of the main aspects of Rivera's signature style, massive and well defined figures engaged in quotidian activities dominating the pictorial space. It also illustrates the master's quick and assertive brush-stroke as well as his use of colour and line to enhance the various volumes and planes in the composition.
