Édouard Manet

    January 23, 1832 – April 30, 1883

    Édouard Manet was a French painter who stood at the crossroads of Realism and Impressionism. As one of the first 19th-century artists to engage with subjects from modern life, he became a pivotal figure in the transition towards Impressionism. His early masterworks stirred considerable controversy, yet are today considered watershed paintings marking the genesis of modern art. Manet's legacy lies in his bold approach to contemporary themes and his formal innovation.

      3.0
    • Edouard Manet (1832-83) was one of the greatest, as well as one of the most interesting, of nineteenth century French painters. Acute observation, an extraordinary skilful handling of paint and a feeling for exquisite harmonies of colour makes his work both vivid and enchanting. It is also of great significance in the story of European painting, since Manet, a pioneer in depicting modern life in a modern style, was a formative influence on the whole impressionist movement.  Olympia  and  The Picnic  are among the key works of the nineteenth century.These, and many other crucial points – among them Manet’s personality, with its many contradictions - are fully discussed by John Richardson in his introductory essay, an abridged version of the brilliant text which was widely admired when it was first published in 1958 and which started a full-scale revival of Manet studies.Richardson's classic text was first revised in 1982, with notes to the forty-eight colour plates by Kathleen Adler and comparative illustrations to emphasize the quality, variety and character of Manet’s work. This perfect introduction to the work of such an influential painter is now reissued in an attractive new design.
