Edouard Manet

A Bar at the Folies-Bergere

US$ 636.00

A barmaid faces us across a marble counter of bottles and a bowl of oranges, and behind her a mirror shows the crowded music hall — though her reflection sits in the wrong place, and the man she appears to be serving is nowhere in the room. Art historians have argued about that impossible geometry for a century. What holds the picture together is her expression, which gives away nothing at all.

Artist

Edouard Manet (1832-1883) stood between Realism and Impressionism and declined to belong fully to either, refusing to exhibit with the Impressionists even as he shaped them. Two paintings made him notorious in the 1860s and he never quite shed the reputation. This was his last major canvas, painted from a reconstruction of the bar built in his studio while he was already gravely ill with the disease that killed him at fifty-one.
