How to Study Pictures

The 26th chapter in this volume about how to properly study art from any movement in art history, details the paintings of Impressionist Édouard Manet. One of the first 19th century artists to approach modern subjects, Manet was a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. His early masterworks The Luncheon on the Grass and Olympia engendered great controversy and served as rallying points for the young painters who would create Impressionism. Today, these are considered watershed paintings that mark the genesis of modern art.
