Bringing forth fresh perspectives on Manet's art by established
scholars, this volume places this compelling and elusive artist's
painted A"uvre within a broader cultural context, and links his
artistic preoccupations with literary and musical currents. Rather
than seeking consensus on his art through one methodology, or
focusing on one crucial work or period, this collection
investigates the range of Manet's art in the context of his time
and considers how his vision has shaped subsequent interpretations.
Specific essays explore the relationship between Manet and
Whistler; Emile Zola's attitude toward the artist; Manet's
engagement with moral and ethical questions in his paintings; and
the heritage of Charles Baudelaire and Clement Greenberg in
critical responses to Manet. Through these and other analyses, this
volume illuminates the scope of Manet's career, and indicates the
crucial position the artist held in generating a modernist
avant-garde aesthetic.
