Abstract
This paper relates the biography of Edouard Manet and a chronological description of his work. The author points out that studying Manet's art and its relationship with society during this key period in the history of art must take into consideration the revitalization and modernization of Paris, which was occurring in the 19th century under Baron Haussmann at the same time. The paper discuses the style, content, influence on other painters and relationship to the historical period of many of Manet's paintings, including "The Absinthe Drinker", "Spanish Guitar Player", "Dejeuner sur l'Herbe" and "A Bar at the Folies-Bergere".
From the Paper
"Perhaps the most radical aspect of 1862's "La Musique aux Tuileries" is the fact that it contains no real subject. This painting is quite a departure from Manet's previous concern with the destitute of Paris. It celebrates the high-class, fashionable society of Paris during this time - a part of society that Manet and his friends were indelibly a part of. There is no real central subject in the painting, though - we are at a celebration of some sort, and are able to lose ourselves in the swirl of the crowd. In this respect, the painting is "out of focus," like being lost in a real crowd."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the background of the artist Edouard Manet and discusses his life and specifically two of his artworks, "Boy with Cherries," a disturbing portrait of a young boy charged with cleaning the palettes and brushes in his studio and "Music in the Tuileries" (also known as "Concert at the Tuileries").
From the Paper
"This is one of Manet's first well-known works. He painted it in 1860 into 1861, and it illustrates a group of concertgoers listening to an outdoor concert in the Tuileries Gardens in Paris. Manet loved to paint people enjoying their leisure time, and this painting epitomizes that time. This oil on canvas painting seemed to be unfinished to many people who viewed it in 1861, and it help start the public derision of Manet's works that lasted for some time."

Abstract
This paper begins by providing a brief biography of Manet. It looks at the style of his first artwork and then discusses two of his famous paintings. The first is "Luncheon on the Grass" painted in 1863 and the second is "Olympia" painted in the same year. The paper then looks at how his art changed towards the end of his life.
From the Paper
"The great painter Edouard Manet, born on January 23, 1832 in Paris has always been recognized with the "Impressionists". He mostly preferred to exhibit his work in the exhibitions that were more moderate and sponsored by the French government. Though, he learned traditional style painting, but his experience with Claude Monet and the other "Impressionists," made his work more natural and spontaneous by using meaningful outlines, severe lighting contrasts, with daring colors and rich texture to depict the world around him (Gray, 1983).
Although, he was well educated, yet did not excel within the academic atmosphere and instead showed interest towards drawing and the arts. After serving in the merchant marines in 1850, Manet joined the studio of Thomas Couture and studied until 1856. There the old masters, especially Velazquez and Goya, influenced him. However, he opined that art of one should always reveal and indicate ideas and ideals of the present instead of the past (Gray, 1983).'

From the Paper
"This paper will be an analysis and discussion of the painter Edouard Manet, and a comparison and analysis of two of his works; Portrait of Emile Zola, 1868, and, Au Cafe, 1878. Manet was a heavy influence among the master impressionists, from Claude Monet to Auguste Renoir. However, he refused to have his work exhibited with theirs anywhere outside of the official Salon. Manet was born in "1832 and died in 1883," a French painter influenced by Spanish masters Velazquez and Goya.. From the late eighteen fifties to the early eighteen eighties, Manet's life was filled with the adventure of the Paris Salons, Cafe's and gardens. As a result, his works are some of the most colorful and adventurous in all of modern art. The negative periods of say, a Picasso, or a Van Gogh are not as readily apparent. The subjects of war and revolution were more important to Manet than ..."

From the Paper
"Olympia by ?douard Manet (1832-83) was painted in 1863 and exhibited at the Salon in 1865, where it caused an immense sensation. The painting, which is oil on canvas, measures 130.5 x 190 cm and currently hangs in the Mus?e d'Orsay in Paris. One of the most important paintings of the nineteenth century, the Olympia depicts a young prostitute stretched out on pillows and sheets on a long bed in an elegant room. She wears earrings, a bracelet, a slim choker, one of a pair of high-heeled slippers, and a flower in her hair. A black maid in a pale pink dress stands behind the bed offering a newly-arrived bouquet and a black cat stretches itself at the foot of the bed. But the young woman stares directly out at the viewer. The furor raised by the painting was due to Manet's frank realist approach, which encompassed his unusual method of painting, the nature of the.."

Abstract
This is a paper that analyzes and contrasts the style and technique of the poet William Blake and the artist Edouard Manet. The author compares between the styles of Blake?s poem London which portrays traditional societal values and Manet?s painting "Luncheon on the Grass", which breaks all traditional thoughts and ideas, in an attempt to contrast their artistic intentions.
From the Paper
"Blake's poetry is a masterpiece. The poem under discussion is one of his finest poems wherein he talks about young children on the streets of London, his town. He talks of these children in a slightly amused, slightly chiding manner. The poem has three stanzas, each containing two rhymed couplets. The lines are longer than is typical for Blake's Songs, and their extension suggests the train of children processing toward the cathedral, or the flowing river to which they are explicitly compared. The form of expression is unique as Blake narrates in another's voice. He says the children are actually angels of God and speaks of them grandiosely as singing like the 'mighty wind' and 'harmonious thundering."

Abstract
This paper compares the portrayal of the goddess Venus by Titian, Canova and Manet. The paper suggests that in each case, the personality of the sitter comes through in the final work, meshing with the idea of the goddess. It then looks at the relationship between the two nineteenth-century artists and Titian and how both looked back to the Renaissance genius as the ideal interpreter of Classical models.
From the Paper
"Three Venuses: By Titian, Canova and Manet Depictions of the goddess of love go back to ancient, even (in the case of the so-called Venus of Willendorf) to times as much as twenty-five thousand years before Christ) (Jansen 29). Such ancient fertility figures became endowed over the years with the Classical principles of beauty, erotic love, and divine inspiration. By the time of the Renaissance, with its dual emphases on Classical elements and on the importance of the individual, Venus could also be portrayed as a real woman. At the same time, nudity took on an idealistic stance missing in the Middle Ages, as the human body could encompass both the ideals of Classical perfection and the humanistic sense of the individual stripped of the trappings of society (Janson 398-399). Titian (1488/90-1576) dominated Venetian High Renaissance painting throughout the sixteenth century (Janson 462)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the painting Portrait of a Peasant (1888) by Vincent Van Gogh offers some interesting color schemes to forge a brighter view of the peasant, as he appears in a bust perspective in this work. The usage of dark blues and purples accentuates the background, as the lighter blues create the jacket the man is wearing. Standing out in this painting, is the very bright yellow hat, which Van Gogh places on the man's head. The paper then goes on to discuss the work of Manet, drawing a comparison between the work of the two artists.

From the Paper
"In the 1870s Impressionism was at its height. By the 1880s stylistic differences and personal quarrels came into play. A major contention was who should be allowed to "show" with the group. Degas was eager to include new artists, but others saw it mostly as compromising the purpose of Impressionism. The new, more theoretical works of artists like Seurat and Signac marked the end of the original movement."

Abstract
This paper reviews the painting 'A Bar at the Folies Bergeres' by Edouard Manet. This paper attempts to prove that this work of art is much more than just an image of a barmaid with a mirror behind her, but rather a painting reflecting a somewhat more complex objective.
From the Paper
'Edouard Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergeres (1881-82) is, without question, one of the most famous paintings of the nineteenth century. This (re)creation of a moment in the nightlife of Paris' Variete Folies-Bergeres is acknowledged as Manet's "final masterpiece" (Duchting, 111). While on initial viewing this painting appears simply to be an image of a barmaid with a mirror behind her, this essay will argue that Manet's objectives in this work are much more complex.'

Abstract
This paper looks at how people view art. It states that when viewing any work of art, one immediately begins to make sense of the image in terms of how it relates to the world one knows, as well as what one has been taught about history. Not only does society seem to influence the ways in which art is produced - society is often reflected in the works of art itself. Along these lines, this paper aims to answer the question of whether or not people use ancient artifacts that pre-date written culture as a means of "reading" the society that existed during that era. In the case of ancient artifacts such as the "Venus of Willendorf," ultimately modern analysis can only guess by relating the piece's history to modern ideas of what gender might have signified to ancient prehistoric civilizations. However - in the case of Manet - people are able to get a better view of the ways that society and art impacted one another through the use of primary and secondary sources. In contrast between the Venus and Manet's pieces, it can be said that the relationship between art and society is in fact conditioned by a third factor, which is the main subject of this paper - that of history. Without all the written records of the 19th century that have been kept, people might have no way of knowing what they are looking at when they study a Manet painting. Furthermore, "works" - or, perhaps more aptly, artifacts - such as the Venus thus cause people to reconsider what the true definition of art is.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Manet's painting was firmly rooted in Paris of the mid-19th century. It is thus not difficult for us to get a glimpse of what society was like in that time and place by looking at Manet's paintings. Looking at the Venus of Willendorf, however, does not tell us anything about the society that it is a relic of. It thus requires us to use our intellects and our imaginations in order to piece together an explanation that might satisfy us personally, but can never be held up as a firm example, as we can with Manet's paintings. Thus, it can be said that the relationship between art and society is in fact conditioned by a third factor, which has been the main subject of our inquiry - that of history. Without all the written records of the 19th century that have been kept, we might have no way of knowing what we are looking at when we study a Manet painting. This truth comes to the surface when we look at the Venus, which comes from a period that pre-dated all known forms of writing."

Abstract
This paper reviews various works of art through the ages, all depicting various scenes of war and battle. It takes a look at the work of various artists such as Eugene Delacroix, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Edouard Manet, Paul Cezanne, Jackson Pollack and Henri Matisse and compares their scenes of war and battle.
From the Paper
"The major similarity between the two works is the depicted violence. In Sardanapalus a Negro stabs a white horse and a bearded and richly dressed man plunges a dagger into the throat of a woman. The foreground is brighly illuminated and, indicative of the Romantic period, the figures are expressive and sensual with a mixture of the erotic and violent. The painting is believed to be based on Lord Byron's 1821 play Sardanapalus, which ends with death and destruction (Spector 19).
The painting has life-size figures in the foreground and in the rear, including the king, much smaller. The complex composition and spacing between the figures is unique--with figures on the lower right and upper left, and only the red of the bed spread in the middle. Colors of gold and red as well as actual pearls are used to unify the different parts of the painting. Women, slaves, animals, jewels, and fabrics are combined in a swirling, circular composition. The painting was used to evoke emotion--even Delacroix was disturbed by what he had painted. The Sandanapalus tilts diagonally back from the foreground, with earlier Romantic battle paintings, such as Gros' Battle of the Eylau in 1807, Delacroix's own Dante and Virgil in 1822 and Massacre of Chios in 1821, the main figures occupying the foreground (Spector 23).

Abstract
This paper analyzes the characteristics of the most influential painters during the Impressionism era to see whether Henry Fantin-Latour should be considered an Impressionist painter. The writer describes a brief history of previous art movements and analyzes the Impressionists' characteristic by examining some examples of the three great artists at that time: Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Edouard Manet. The writer advocates that Fantin-Latour's paintings are really different from the Impressionists. The writer further discusses Fantin-Latour's three different kinds of paintings, the portraits, still life, and imaginative paintings, and explains that only the imaginative painting has a characteristic of the Impressionists' painting. The writer believes that Henry Fantin-Latour is not an Impressionist as his artwork is more realistic.

From the Paper
"Art is a product of human creativity and is a creation of beautiful things. Everyone has different interpretation in defining beautiful, as it is a form of expression of a person's feelings. There are many different forms of art, such as painting, music or photography. People have their own way in interpreting art. There is no universal rule of understanding a work of art. Over the centuries art has been used for different purposes. In the 19th century, during the modernism time, so many artists reacts to structures and definitions of the new academies new subject matter and new painterly values, they refer more to the philosophy of the modern art. Most artists wanted to show their own style and expressed it in their own way, even though they based on what they have learned at that time. "
