Edouard Manet (1832-83) was one of the greatest, as well as one of
the most interesting, of nineteenth century French painters. Acute
observation, an extraordinary skilful handling of paint and a
feeling for exquisite harmonies of colour makes his work both vivid
and enchanting. It is also of great significance in the story of
European painting, since Manet, a pioneer in depicting modern life
in a modern style, was a formative influence on the whole
impressionist movement. Olympia and The Picnic are among the key
works of the nineteenth century. These, and many other crucial
points - among them Manet's personality, with its many
contradictions - are fully discussed by John Richardson in his
introductory essay, an abridged version of the brilliant text which
was widely admired when it was first published in 1958 and which
started a full-scale revival of Manet studies. Richardson's classic
text was first revised in 1982, with notes to the forty-eight
colour plates by Kathleen Adler and comparative illustrations to
emphasize the quality, variety and character of Manet's work. This
perfect introduction to the work of such an influential painter is
now reissued in an attractive new design.
