Manet, Inventor of the Modern

Musée d'Orsay - From 5th of April to 3rd of July 2011


Edouard Manet an iconic figure of 19th century art, is acknowledged to be the precursor of modern painting. This significant retrospective is the first in Francesince 1983. It places Manet squarely in his time. It assesses his influences, his links with the public and political spheres. The exhibition path lingers over the teaching of his master Thomas  Couture, Beaudelaire's impetus, women in painting (Berthe, Morisot, Eva Gonzalès), the reform of religious art, the erotic imagination ,earthly temptation, his complicity with Mallarmé...This exhibition represents a complete immersion into a very heart of his work. It is an exploration of his historical and social environment.
