Manet is called 'the father of impressionism'
He was born rich family so he had good educations.
Although he was affluent, he wasn't reluctant to meet other artist in cafe.
Also, he encouraged many other artist to draw a picture out of the tradition like the Salon.
This picture's name is Olympia
First of all, it was criticized by many artist because of lasciviousness
the model's pose and face was too sensual.
nevertheless, Manet didn't break his spirit.
and he affect other artist through this picture named Le déjeuner sur l'herbe
(It mean the lunch on the grass.)
It hang on the Salon des Refusés.
and it was criticized by many artist too because of ignored space sense.
it looks flatness.
despite of the critic, it made other artist look the light.
Monet,Sisley etc went out to look at the light
It's the first that the Impressionism started.
Today, this is so famous painting
It features removed background, flatness, and simple color.
It was out of existing composition and technique.
Owing to this reason, this picture wasn't appreciated.
But, that times, Emile Zola wrote a review for distinction of him.
His picture was too cricticized first.
But he kept his spirit.
Also, he affected modern art and Impressionism.
If he was broken by tradition, our history of art was changed, i think.
