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.

... "arrest" groups arrived earlier than the
"non-arrest" groups which were supposed to protect
them from removal by the police. The news
photographs of these initial "lock-down" groups
have a surrealistic air to them. In the empty
streets after dawn, groups of protesters lock
themselves together with bicycle locks or tubes
covering their linked arms to prevent police from
removing them individually. King County Sheriff
Dave Reichert says he got a telephone call at 8 AM
from a county detective. ...

know it, the unsuccessful police push was timed to
