Features: Manet was a revolutionary painter, yet he pursued success and fame in the world of academic tradition; although a member of the Impressionist movement, he uniquely refused to participate in their exhibitions; he depicted modern life, yet held the deepest reverence for classical art masters more than anyone else. This book is divided into four parts:
1. Plate Collection: Includes dozens of Manet's works, such as Cupid and Psyche, White Peony, Luncheon in the Studio, Woman with a Fur Wrap, and more;
2. Biographical Sketch: Narrates the life experiences of Manet;
3. Work Explanations;
4. Chronology.
It is hoped that this book will guide readers in understanding how to appreciate and interpret paintings correctly, and to explore the full scope of the creative works and inner journeys of modern art masters from various perspectives.
