Description
Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas were two artists who worked to define modern urban life through their paintings. This book explores how their objectives overlapped, diverged, and influenced each other's artistic choices. Through archival correspondence and records of firsthand accounts, the authors examine the artists' family relationships, literary friendships, and social circles in Paris. They also discuss their depictions of race and class, political views, and compare their artistic practices. The book features an illustrated biographical chronology charting the intersecting lives and careers of these two influential French artists. The study offers a fresh look at some of the most canonical French artworks of the nineteenth century, including Manet's Olympia and Degas's The Absinthe Drinker.
