Edouard Manet

Edouard Manet

Edouard Manet (1832-1883) was a French modernist painter who greatly influenced impressionist writers. He presented works that overthrew traditional notions of the time, including portraying "Goddess Venus" in the paintings of 16th-century master Titian as "the prostitute of reality." In addition, it was painted with limited colors such as flat surfaces, thick border lines, and black that do not have a three-dimensional effect in shape. Looking at his paintings, people criticized him for not being the basis of his paintings. However, impressionist artists pay great praise to his work and are greatly influenced by his work.
