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
rebuilding of Paris was being supervised by Baron
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.
Manet's scenes of Parisian cafes, bars and streets

Late Nineteenth Century Edgar Degas
718 words
The impressionist age was a time of artistic
rebellion to the common standards of art in late
nineteenth century France. Rather than painting in
the traditionalist fashion, focusing on exotic
subject matter, powerful figureheads and historic
scenes, impressionists painted everyday life as it
was. The impressionists were known for using
bright, unmixed colors to illustrate luminosity
through texture. They opted for less detail in
order to create an overall effect. "The
impressionists allowed thei...

Paul Cezanne's 'A Modern Olympia' Introduction
Paul Cezanne's oil on canvas painting of 'A Modern
Olympia' is a 46 by 55. 5 cm. canvas of 1873 - 74.
The theme of abduction and rape is one that is
repeated in Cezanne's work as in his 'Abduction'
of 1867, and after all this purports to be a
painting of a slave in a harem. It is a variation
of Manet's earlier work of 1863, which established
Manet as an artist. People claimed to be shocked
by Manet's portrait, but nevertheless flocked to
see it in t...

Red Figure Ancient Greek
2,325 words
In the absence of significant examples of the
major art of Greek painting, pottery has assumed
an importance even beyond its own great intrinsic
value. During certain periods and in certain
localities the vase-painter was not content to
decorate his pots with simple lines and plant
motifs. He took his themes from mythology and the
life around him, as did the panel and mural
painters. Moreover, occasionally these
vase-paintings are of the highest quality, and
this is especially the case in the At...
