Document Summary
Hinge between realism and impressionism: douard manet, music in the tuileries gardens, 1862, oil on canvas. Depicts a crows in the tuileries garden in paris; a place to be seen. Exhibited in a one man show; critics thought it was terrible and gross. Small portion of sky; strong, dark statements of the tree trunks that disrupt the illusion of space. Brushstrokes are flat and broad; painted loosely and quickly. Depicting contemporary life in a new way; previously depicted in a journal. Influenced by baudelaire; believed modern life paintings should be and is the best way to show it. Certain high class, intellectual gentlemen that used the city as a showplace and would just be seen; elegant. Symbol of the modern life in paris.
