    About this ebook

    Nineteenth century France was a period of rapid modernisation and expansion. Édouard Manet, the quintessential painter of modern life, was a man of his times and his paintings were powerful, often shocking, representations of modern society. In particular, Manet scandalised French society with his iconoclastic depictions of women as objects of pleasure and commerce, as products of a burgeoning capitalism and a commodity of the bourgeois male. An understanding of the historical and social context is essential in appreciating the significance of Manet's paintings such as Le déjeuner sur l'herbe, Olympia and Bar aux Folies-Bergere. Fully illustrated with images in context by Manet and his influences including the popular illustrators of his time.
    Includes excerpts from Baudelaire's highly influential 'The Painter of Modern Life' (1863).

      Excerpt: The painter of modern life (1863) by Charles Baudelaire

      Following graphic: detail of Édouard Manet’s Bar at the Folies-Bergère 1882

      Manet’s representations of women are always sexually and socially ambiguous. This is evident in the nudes of the sixties and especially his last major work, Bar at the Folies-Bergère.

      The reference to sexual ambiguity pertains to the manner in which the viewer relates sexually to Manet’s images of women. This matter will be treated later in a discussion of Manet’s 1865 salon entry, Olympia.

      The other issue of social ambiguity is more straightforward even if the answer is not; it lies in the complex social structure of Second Empire Paris, a period of massive upheaval, flux and change.
