Édouard Manet
Édouard Manet (, ; ; 23 January 1832 – 30 April 1883) was a French modernist painter. He was one of the first 19th-century artists to paint modern life, as well as a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. Born into an upper-class household with strong political connections, Manet rejected the naval career originally envisioned for him; he became engrossed in the world of painting. His early masterworks, ''The Luncheon on the Grass'' (''Le déjeuner sur l'herbe'') and '' Olympia'', both 1863, caused great controversy and served as rallying points for the young painters who would create Impressionism. Today, these are considered watershed paintings that mark the start of modern art. The last 20 years of Manet's life saw him form bonds with other great artists of the time; he developed his own simple and direct style that would be heralded as innovative and serve as a major influence for future painters. Early life Édouard Manet was born in Par ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Corner Of A Café-Concert
''Corner of a Café-Concert'' is an 1879 oil on canvas painting by Édouard Manet, now in the National Gallery, London. It is related to his '' The Waitress''. The two café-concerts In August 1874, Manet began work on a large painting of the Brasserie de Reichshoffen Café-concert in the Reichshoffen, where he was fascinated by the skill of the waitresses. While working on the picture, he drastically changed his plans and cut it into two parts which he developed independently, completing each half separately. The left half is titled ''Au café.'' This instant view of the cafe is the right side of the larger painting. The model of the beer waitress of the Coin de café-concert is one of the waitresses of the Reichshoffen brewery. According to Duret and Moreau-Nelataon, the waitress agreed to go to Manet's studio, rue d'Amsterdam, to pose. See also * List of paintings by Édouard Manet A ''list'' is any set of items in a row.

Paintings In The Musée D'Orsay
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the "matrix" or "support"). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. In art, the term ''painting ''describes both the act and the result of the action (the final work is called "a painting"). The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials, including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and even whole objects. Painting is an important form in the visual arts, bringing in elements such as drawing, Composition (visual arts), composition, gesture (as in gestural painting), narrative, narration (as in narrative art), and abstraction (as in abstract art). Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in still life and landscape art, la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
