The Races, 1865. Creator: Edouard Manet (French, 1832-1883)
The Races, 1865. The Race Track is based on Manets painting The Races at Longchamp. The lithograph, however, conveys the excitement of horseracing even more than the painting. Energy and movement are suggested by bold, quickly drawn lines and by rapid, curving smudges. The unrestrained, spontaneous use of the lithographic crayon foreshadows the expressiveness of 20th-century printmaking

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Races, 1865" and created by the renowned French artist Edouard Manet, transports us to the thrilling world of horseracing in the 19th century. Based on Manet's original painting "The Races at Longchamp" this print exudes even more excitement and dynamism than its predecessor. Manet's masterful use of bold, swiftly drawn lines and rapid, curving smudges infuses the artwork with a sense of energy and movement. The lithographic crayon is employed with unrestrained spontaneity, foreshadowing the expressive techniques that would become characteristic of 20th-century printmaking. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported to the race track itself. We can almost hear the thunderous hooves pounding against the ground as horses gallop towards victory. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation; spectators lean forward in their seats while others cheer fervently from behind a barrier. "The Races, 1865" captures not only a moment frozen in time but also embodies an entire era characterized by realism and impressionism. It serves as a testament to Manet's artistic prowess and his ability to convey emotion through his brushstrokes or lithographic marks. This remarkable piece now resides within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection thanks to Heritage Art/Heritage Images' dedication to preserving cultural heritage for future generations.
