1. 1. Edouard Manet

   

   A concise, interpretive study that traces the artist’s career from early training through his provocative Salon submissions and late works, situating him within the social and artistic life of 19th-century Paris; it examines the development of his technique, recurring themes of modern urban life, portraiture and still life, and the controversies stirred by paintings such as Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe and Olympia, while assessing his ambiguous relationship to both Realism and Impressionism and his lasting influence on subsequent generations of artists.
