Manet FROM OUR EDITORS
John Richardson focuses his study of the great French Impressionist on Manet's development as a painter of superb technical skill. Discussions on color, brushwork, and Manet's "artist's eye" make for a fine introduction to Impressionism in general and Manet in particular.
ANNOTATION
Acute observation, skillful handling of paint, and exquisite color harmonies made the art of this great French impressionist vivid and enchanting.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
John Richardson is an eminent critic and art historian. His classic text was first revised in 1982, with notes to the forty-eight colour plates by Kathleen Adler and comparative illustrations to emphasize the quality, variety and character of Manet's work. This perfect introduction to the work of such an influential painter is now reissued in an attractive new design.
