Reader Name: Whitnie I5.2 - The Luncheon on the Grass by Edouard Manet
Manet shocked the French public by exhibiting this painting at the Salon des Refuses in 1863. Depicting a nude woman casually lunching with two fully dressed men, it was an affront to the propriety of the time. Read a book with a nude or partially-nude figure on the cover. Cover figure should have no visible clothing OR have exposed body parts that would normally be covered by a bikini or swim trunks OR exhibit assumed nudity (i.e., covered by a towel, bedding, or other obstructing (non-clothing) object). There must be enough of the body shows to establish nudity or partially-nudity.
Required: Include the cover in your post.
