Description: "Still-life painting offers everything from pure sensual pleasure to a challenge for rigorous aesthetic analysis. A bowl of luscious fruit, a vase of exquisite flowers, an arrangement of food on a table - all can be enjoyed on many levels." "Manet's still-life paintings are among the finest ever created, and account for almost one-fifth of all his works. The full range of these oils, watercolors, and prints is discussed in this study and beautifully reproduced in color."--BOOK JACKET.
