Purchase options and add-ons

Lampooned during his lifetime for his style as much as his subject matter, French painter Édouard 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 Déjeuner 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.

Excellent for the Price!

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a very good introduction to Manet and his works! For the price, it is excellent and very complete. Reproductions are generally very good and well presented. Some colors lack intensity/saturation, but the detail is very good. One personal dislike: I hate two page images, too much is lost with the distortion at the binding. 5 stars.
