Manet Manette

by Carol Armstrong

A founding father of modernism, Manet Manette is at the forefront of nineteenth-century art. Placing his art within the framework of color, the author considers his methods and his consumerism as well as the considerations of others in the art world to form a vision of a perplexing, yet astonishingly gifted human being.

[Brian]

A return to the formalist method of Greenberg and Fried, though without the a priori assumption of aesthetic unities or the privileging of the notion of a "consistent body of work".

Wonderful look into Manet.
