Talk:Édouard Manet

message: I have started an article about Le déjeuner sur l'herbe. I suggest we shorten the paragraph about that work in this article. - Karl Stas 15:27, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: New article

message: The keyword Manet used to go through to the page on Mobile Ad-hoc Networks. Now while I agree Edouard did get there first a MANet is a valid computing term of increasing importance so I'm going to set up a disambiguation page. In future please don't just change a redirect, if there's more than one possible usage then do a short disambiguation page. McClade 01:09, Dec 27, 2004 (UTC)
: Perhaps there should be one of those nifty notices saying "This article is about the painter. For the mobile network, please see lbablabla"? Jobjörn (talk) 13:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edouard vs. Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANets) 

message: The selections were very carefully chosen, many of Manet's most important works, and an essential visual component to an article about one of the most important artists of the 19th century. Modernist 15:22, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The Gallery

message: In the article Giorgione's influence has been cited via either the Tempest or the Pastoral Concert. I've followed another contributor's cue and supported the latter. In fact, both paintings are cited in the literature as probable influences, so we're safe with either. JNW (talk) 07:41, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Luncheon on the grass

message: While commons is an overall and indisciminant repository of material, a gallery that works correctly presents material in a chronological, and carefully selected manner that reads as an edited catalogue of only the most important and characteristic work. The gallery in the article is meant to present information to the reader in a clear and succinct manner. While commons is more of a larger and somewhat less discriminating storage of images.

replies: text: I agree, although this one, with just titles, owners & dates, could add more info in the captions, & be arranged, and perhaps split into mini-galleries, to reflect the "subjects" sections - although that would lose the chronological arrangement.

text: To describe Manet as an impressionist is to misunderstand or blur the category so broadly as to be meaningless. Contemporaries did not regard him as an 'impressionist', so-called. Nor did Manet place himself in that group of painters or style. Are there citations from significant critics or art historians who labeled Manet an impressionist? 2601:196:4700:E5C0:8CDA:9F52:796A:A048 (talk) 15:59, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

message: Correct French usage is not to put accents on capitals. See Pompidou Centre, plus National Gallery, London. I will move the article, but just checking in case anybody has good reason not to. Ty 13:28, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems the accent is staying per this discussion. Ty 01:42, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Article name

message: Does anything in the current IPA "edwaʁ manɛ" indicate stress? I understand that the 'correct' but not necessarily used-in-English pronunciation accents the first syllable of "Manet". Outriggr (talk) 02:21, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  pronunciation 

message: I recall from my art history classes that some of the major controversy with the Olympia piece stemmed from him utilizing a well known prostitute as his model.  It might be an interesting fact to note that many of the upper class men who would attend the salon would recognize her because they had been with her.  Stylistically the article highlights Manet's tendencies to outline his figures, and touches a bit the juxtaposition of his blurry brushstrokes combined with hyper-realistic figurative portrayal, but in the Olympia piece this particular stylistic aspect caused many people to be incredibly incensed.  {author=PBS|http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/cultureshock/beyond/manet.html|viewed=2010-11-2} One of the reasons I adore Manet is the way  he so brilliantly played with the viewer. I think the article might benefit from adding some scholarly conjecture of his attitude and approach to his painting style. Perhaps taken from his letters published as Manet By Himself  ISBN: 0821218425. For example, the reason he wanted to keep exhibiting at the Salon was because he knew he could most affect Frenchmen's perceptions of classicized art from within the establishment. Which becomes very clear as you read his correspondence during the periods when his art is most incendiary.CLAvalon (talk) 18:13, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that Victorine was a prostitute, though she may be acting as one in the painting. Feel free to add sourced content, per WP:RELIABLE, at Olympia (Manet). The segment here is a more abbreviated overview. JNW (talk) 18:19, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Olympia

message: I think that something important to point out about Manet is how unlike most impressionist artists he preferred to work inside his studio instead of outdoors. I think this could be a nice addition after the first sentence of the last paragraph in this section; "In 1856, Manet opened his own studio".

replies: text: This photo is dated 1866 in Murrell, Denise (2018). Posing Modernity: The Black Model from Manet and Matisse to Today, p. 12. Therefore, I changed "sometime before 1870" to "in 1866." Maurice Magnus (talk) 00:27, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
