Book Description
Manet's well-known painting in the National Gallery, London, of a café-concert--a kind of cabaret performance that was the latest fashion in Paris of the 1870s--has a peculiar history. The painter initially planned an ambitious canvas with which he grew dissatisfied, then cut in two, one half being the painting in the National Gallery and the other half now in Winterthur in Switzerland. He repainted both fragments to make each a picture in its own right, but modern technology has discovered and reconstructed the original greater work. New research has also identified the café, the Reichshoffen, and even the Folies-Bergère performance that is advertised on a poster represented in the picture. This study of a pivotal work in the troubled painter's oeuvre reveals his pioneering genius and the modernity of his search to capture a distillation of life in his own time through disconcertingly direct brushstrokes. The book discusses and illustrates related drawings and other paintings on the same theme, which would culminate a mere three or four years later in the Bar in the Folies-Bergère. Without the experimentation, false paths and new discoveries of the Reichshoffen he would never have painted that masterpiece.
