Neret Gilles - Manet - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Lampooned during his lifetime for his style as much as his subject matter French painter douard Manet (1832 1883) is now considered a crucial figure in the history of art bridging the transition from Realism to Impressionism. Manet's work combined a painterly technique with strikingly modern images of contemporary life centered on the urban Paris experience. He recorded the city's parks bars and cabarets often delighting in the frisson of underground or provocative content. The Paris salon rejected his D jeuner sur l herbe with its juxtaposition of fully dressed men and a nude woman while the steady gaze and unabashed pose of the prostitute Olympia a very modern reworking of Titian's Venus of Urbino caused a society scandal. This richly illustrated book introduces Manet's work and his uniquely influential combination of Realism Impressionism and reworked Old Masters that would become paradigms of a brave new world for generations of modernists to come.
