Manet. Colour Library
Edouard Manet (1832-1883) was one of the greatest and most interesting French painters of the 19th century. His keen observation, his extraordinary skill in handling paint and his taste for exquisite harmonies of colour make his work both vivid and enchanting.
It is also of great importance in the history of European painting, for Manet, a pioneer in the depiction of modern life in a modern style, exerted a formative influence on the entire Impressionist movement.
These and many other crucial points - among them Manet's personality, with its many contradictions - are treated in depth by John Richardson in his introductory essay, an abridged version of the brilliant text that was widely admired when it was first published in 1958 and which initiated a large-scale revival of Manet studies.
Richardson's classic text was first revised in 1982, with notes to Kathleen Adler's forty-eight colour plates and comparative illustrations to highlight 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.>
