Life and work
The artist’s life and work are treated in Françoise Cachin, Charles S. Moffett, and Juliet Wilson Bareau, Manet, 1832–1883 (1983), a catalog published in conjunction with Manet’s centenary exhibition. General biographies of the artist include Beth Archer Brombert, Edouard Manet: Rebel in a Frock Coat (1996); and Françoise Cachin, Manet (1991; originally published in French, 1990). Denis Rouart and Daniel Wildenstein, Édouard Manet: catalogue raisonné, 2 vol. (1975), provides a comprehensive survey of the artist’s work. Manet’s work in specific media is discussed in Sandra Orienti, The Complete Paintings of Manet (1967, reissued 1985), which also presents a concise biography and selections of contemporary criticism; Alain de Leiris, The Drawings of Edouard Manet (1969); and Jean C. Harris, Édouard Manet, the Graphic Work: A Catalogue Raisonné, rev. ed., edited by Joel M. Smith (1990). Essential among the early writings on Manet’s career and contribution are Émile Zola, My Hatreds (1991; originally published in French, 1879); and Theodore Duret, Manet, trans. by J.E. Crawford Flitch (1937; originally published in French, 1902).
Themes and criticism
George Heard Hamilton, Manet and His Critics (1954, reprinted 1986), presents a wide survey of the contemporary reception of Manet’s art. Many scholars have considered Manet’s essential role in the emergence of modernism. A pioneering study is Anne Coffin Hanson, Manet and the Modern Tradition (1977, reprinted with corrections 1979). Also important are T.J. Clark, The Painting of Modern Life: Paris in the Art of Manet and His Followers, rev ed. (1999); Michael Fried, Manet’s Modernism: or, The Face of Painting in the 1860s (1996); and Alan Krell, Manet and the Painters of Contemporary Life (1996). Studies of selected themes in Manet’s art include Theodore Reff, Manet: Olympia (1976); Bradford R. Collins (ed.), 12 Views of Manet’s Bar (1996); Paul Hayes Tucker (ed.), Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe (1998), a collection of essays by various authors; and Juliet Wilson-Bareau, Manet, The Execution of Maximillian: Painting, Politics, and Censorship (1992).
