The first publication on the personal and professional relationship
between Manet and Degas, two giants of nineteenth-century French
art  Friends, rivals, and at times antagonists, Édouard
Manet and Edgar Degas maintained a pictorial dialogue throughout
their lives as they both worked to define the painting of modern
urban life. Manet/Degas, the first book to consider their careers
in parallel, investigates how their objectives overlapped,
diverged, and shaped each other’s artistic choices. Enlivened by
archival correspondence and records of firsthand accounts, essays
by American and French scholars take a fresh look at the artists’
family relationships, literary friendships, and interconnected
social and intellectual circles in Paris; explore their complex
depictions of race and class; discuss their political views in the
context of wars in France and the United States; compare their
artistic practices; and examine how Degas built his personal
collection of works by Manet after his friend’s premature death.
An illustrated biographical chronology charts their intersecting
lives and careers. This lavishly illustrated, in-depth study offers
an opportunity to reevaluate some of the most canonical French
artworks of the nineteenth century, including Manet’s Olympia,
Degas’s The Absinthe Drinker, and other masterworks. Â
