Dust jacket complete. Illustrated boards. No ownership inscription. 61 Full Colour Plates, 15, LXIII pages clean and tight. MANET By Claudia Lyn Cahan. With 61 plates in full colour. The superbly reproduced colour plates in this volume tell the visually exciting story of a painter who became, however, unwillingly, one of the founding fathers of modern art. Edouard Manet stands as a figure apart in the history of painting. Though seen in his own time as the leader of the Impressionists, he refused that designation, as he did all other labels for his work. In the face of almost constant criticism and rejection, he employed new techniques to portray subject matter that shocked equally the viewing public and the art establishment. Manet carried artistic tradition along new pathways, in time revolutionizing both the concept of beauty and the role of painting. Among the works in this volume is Dejeuner sur 1'Herbe, the famous painting that set Paris agog in 1863. The official art critics, scandalized, refused to recognize this portrayal of a nude woman picnicking with two gentlemen fully clad in fashionable dress, and the controversy became a motivating factor in the formation of the Salon des Refuses and a rallying point for the young independent artists in their revolt against academic painting. In the middle of the nineteenth century, France was alive with social and economic changes that were reflected in its cultural life. Manet, a product of the rapidly expanding bourgeoisie, wanted to record the new sense of excitement and joy of life as it was expressed by people of his own class. He saw his age filled with movement and pleasure and, like the Impressionists, wanted to capture that, to paint the moment of reality he saw before him. After six years of academic training, he began to depict not the mythological and historical scenes that tradition required but his own compeers as they boated, picnicked, listened to concerts, or sat at the beach.
