Colour Library Manet

Edouard Manet was one of the greatest, as well as one of the most interesting, of nineteenth century French painters. His style was characterized by loose brush strokes, simplification of details and the suppression of transitional tones. He was one of the first nineteenth century artists to approach modern-life subjects and was a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. This title is part of a series. It contains 48 full-page colour plates, accompanied by extensive notes, and numerous comparative illustrations in colour or black and white, a concise introduction, select bibliography and detailed source information for the images. Monograph on the artist also features a brief chronology. Written by John Richardson. 128 pages. 300 x 220mm.
