Bringing Forth Fresh Perspectives On Manets Art By Established Scholars, This Volume Places This Compelling And Elusive Artists Painted 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 Manets 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 Zolas Attitude Toward The Artist; Manets Engagement With Moral And Ethical Questions In His Paintings; And The Heritage Of Charles Baudelaire And Clement Greenberg In Critical Responses To Manet.
