-- Author: Lewis L., Toperfect Director.
A Bar at the Folies-BergèreIn 1882, Manet exhibited the last oil painting during his lifetime, A Bar at the Folies-Bergère in salon. The exhibition enjoyed an astonishing success and won him “The Legion of Honour”. Manet in sickness said: “it is too late.” On April the 30th, the next year, the painter passed away. Manet Bar at the Folies-Bergère is the most creative in Manet paintings. The painter used the effect of light to create the atmosphere around the young woman. The young woman is standing facing the audience, the decorations, wine bottles, and flowers in the vase attach a dreamlike expression to her. The image of the woman is among numerous phantoms, brimming with charming beauty. In the mirror, we can see the woman talking with customers as well as other customers in the bar. In the painting of A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, Manet adopted dreamlike light and shadow to express the reality, which were inaccessible for other painters. |

Olympia Another Manet painting on canvas Olympia exhibited in 1865 was violently attacked by critics and the press as “an utmost shame” because it rebelled against the rigid orthodoxy. So Édouard Manet was forced to move to Spain. In 1890, the painting Olympia was bought to raise donations and gave it to France as a gift. Now it is displayed in Louvre. The whole picture of Olympia by Manet possesses an extraordinary lightness and radiance. They are in the format of a piece of bright relief sculpture setting in a deep color background. The nude woman emerging as a relief sculpture and then turns into solid body. Manet's Olympia reflects his flexible observation methods. The artist turned the technique into idealist and proposed the principle of free observation methods, which is accepted by the contemporary art and regarded as the foundation and pioneer. In 1865 the famous paintings Edouard Manet Olympia was sent to the Salon, but it was hailed with mockery and laughter. Manet Edouard Olympia depicts a nude woman reclining on a couch, behind her is the head of a negl-ess who carries a bunch of flowers, a black cat at her feet emphasizes the whiteness of the sheet. This Manet painting was presented to the Luxembourg by a subscription started by Claude Monet (1890).
