Manet and Modern Beauty: The Artist’s Last Years

Excellent reference book for Manet followers.

Extremely detailed and scholarly work about this exhibition from Manet's late life. If you are seriously into the academics, the art and the technology of this work this is the book for you. If you just want to look at pictures, get something different.

Wonderful book with great history telling, & many, many reproductions of artwork. This book was put together by the Getty Museum for their Manet exhibit. The book is huge!

Some of the essays are really insightful, and successfully conceptualize some elements that remain implicit in the exhibit. It's particularly cool to read alongside the book of Manet lectures by Bourdieu.

We are going to the Manet and Modern Beauty exhibit at The Getty.

Fantastic overview of Manet ‘s late years ; great pictures

Super book. Captured the essence of the exhibit

This book was an excellent overview of Manet’s work.My favorite part was the methods and materials section. It is interesting how artists work can be detected to learn their secrets and techniques. This section showed great insight and inspiration for my own paintings.Any aspiring artist would enjoy this book. It would also be a great coffee table book with all the beautiful Manet works.I received this galley from NetGalley.

The writing is of high quality as sre the photographic reproductions of the artist’s work

Excellent

Excellent bvook met all my expectations

現在シカゴ美術館で開催中の企画展示「マネと近代美」（9月からはLA郊外のポール　ゲティ美術館）のカタログだが、マネが官展(Salon)で落選し続けた期間に作成された習作を多数収録した展示会。本書が頻繁に言及するジャポニズムの影響が、作品そのものに感じられる。この期間の試みを経て、彼のモリゾ像や関連する名作が輩出される。水彩画も多数あり、女性像、静物としての果物など近代美のテーマが如何に構築されたかを一人の画家を通して復元した好企画展のカタログ兼研究書。

思ったより絵が少ない、なので星３つ、そして商品とは関係ありませんが、予定から遅れること3週間以上、途中連絡しても返事なし、表紙の一部に破れあり。お店の評価は星1つくらい、でも他を見る限り多分おくれることはあっても届かないことはないのかもしれません。
