  • but why beethoven. why not a french musician like Debussy or Chausson or Franck

  • largely unmixed, in contrast to the highly blended flesh one sees in a davinci or titian portrait. to those habituated to the former, manet's bright and vivid flesh, harsh and/or crudely juxtaposed half-tones, combined with contemporary subject matter sometimes controversial in and of itself, served to have history ally him with the impressionist although he might have balked at this, given his overwhelming desire to be accepted by the mainstream salon. provocateur, yes. outsider, no.

  • manet's departure from academicism mainly resides in his use of half-tones. an example of academicism would be the venetian method of painting flesh in regard to the cool turning of tones in the flesh with respect to a light source and the flesh's corresponding warm tones--these generally proceeded from sienna or umber bases and the half-tones were blended thusly. manet's significant departure from this which supposedly put him in the school of impressionist was to, in general, use the paint

  • @Marylotte Je suis d'accord. A mon avis la plupart de son travail est tres bien.

  • Magnifique Manet ... qui a passé sa vie à attendre une reconnaissance officielle !

    Je trouve qu'on ne parle pas beacoup de lui mais qu'on voit souvent ses tableaux .

    C'est mon peintre préféré .

  • Cool, i loved manet when i was in art school, he's a favorite.

  • It's a nice, oaky Chardonnay.

    I'm happy to see your interests and hobbies include"not worrying".

    Take a deep breathe. I never derided anyone who believes Manet was an Impressionist. I said I had not warmed to that notion and gave the reasons why. Respectfully.

    I agree with you that the most odious people on Earth are infallible snobs. Therefore I humbly apologize for disagreeing with your, obviously, greater erudition and command of the Realm of Art.

  • AND, to begin with, I was informing FreeDrtz that Manet's lack of attention to detail and such was intentional, and maybe I didn't feel like writing a 6 page explanation of Manet's identity and involvement in the art world. He's not on the same level as Monet or Renoir, DUH, FINE, GREAT. GUESS WHAT...I KNOW!!!!! GET A JOB.
