Description: "Considered by many to be the father of modernism, Manet is best known for his portrayal of the kaleidoscopic experience of modern Paris. Through his depictions of fashionable high society and the marginalized poor, the spectacle of the boulevard, the bustling café, and the frenetic racetrack, Manet challenged entrenched academic models and influenced the younger group of artists who would come to be known as the Impressionists. The museum's rich collection of paintings and works on paper mirrors this wide range of subject matter and reveals Manet's varied artistic practice."--Director's statement.
