128 Pages : pbk. 30 cm. Édouard Manet was a French painter who played a crucial role in the transition from Realism to Impressionism in the 19th century. He challenged traditional academic art by portraying modern life with loose brushwork, strong contrasts of light and dark, and unconventional subjects. Works like Olympia and Luncheon on the Grass shocked audiences for their directness and rejection of classical ideals. Although controversial in his time, Manet’s bold approach influenced the Impressionists and helped redefine modern art. Sandra Orienti Includes Index Fine Arts 759.4 POO 2971-79632 PK-LaGCW 260119
