20 Th Century Manet Paintings
1,743 words
Much of the art of Manet reflects the developments
going on in Paris in the 1860 s and 1870 s. The

Haussmann, as much of the old medieval centre of
the city was being destroyed so that the new city
could be rebuilt. In his book "The painting of
modern life" TJ Clark argues that modern art of
the 20 th century evolves from the art produced by
Manet during this period of great change in Paris.

greatly by social factors and the culture of

Modern Art For The Paper Store April, 1999
Introduction Its been said that Matisse was no
more an abstract artist than Picasso. No abstract
painter can claim descent from their work without
acknowledging that fact. The worldly motif,
especially the human body, and in particular the
female body, was as basic to Matisse's art as it
had been to Delacroix's or Titian's. His paintings
vividly communicate a tension between what he
called the sign and the reality it pointed to. He
had learned about thi...
