Paperback, , dustjacket, 280x240mm, 214p, 150 colour illustrations. Texte en Francais ISBN 9789061538462. En s'attachant a representer dans ses oeuvres le Paris de son temps, Edouard Manet (1832-1883) a pu y saisir la scene urbaine au dix-neuvieme siecle, accordant a la ? vie moderne ? une legitimite en tant que sujet artistique. Son regard detache, franc, et son traitement subversif tant de la peinture elle-meme que du sujet ont choque ses contemporains et ont fait de lui le pere de la peinture moderne. Ce remarquable ouvrage explore l'oeuvre de Manet en tant que portraitiste, aspect important mais souvent neglige de sa production, et couvre l'ensemble de la carriere du peintre. L'evolution stylistique de l'artiste y est envisagee de facon approfondie grace aux contributions d'eminents specialistes qui abordent l'influence des maitres hollandais du dix-septieme siecle, ou etablissent des paralleles avec l'oeuvre de Renoir et des liens avec les debuts de la photographie. Somptueusement illustre par des peintures et des oeuvres sur papier, ainsi que des photographies de ses modeles, cette etude majeure apporte un nouvel eclairage sur ce peintre essentiel de la modernite.
