Title: The last flowers of Manet
Description: " ... Andrew Forge's essay pays moving tribute to the artist's legacy; Robert Gordon's selections from Manet's intimate letters and from contemporary documents (all impeccably translated by the poet Richard Howard) add poignance to the reader's experience of the last works of one of the most innovative painters of the nineteenth century, whom many consider to be the first modern artist."--Inside jacket.
