1863 Manet painted The Luncheon on the Grass and Olympia(shown in 1865). Many believe those paintings changed art history.
Discuss how those paintings differ from paintings from 1400-1863, and how after 1863-1945 the art had changed.
Use 3 painting examples. The exact prompt/thesis is in attached files.
Many scholars see Manet’s work of 1863 as a key turning point in art history. Discuss how Manet’s two most important works of 1863 (one shown in that year, one painted in that year and shown in 1865) could be said to have changed painting, or even art, thereafter.
Use three works to demonstrate your points:
ONE work by someone else (NOT Manet) painted BETWEEN 1400 AND 1863 o ONE of Manet’s challenging works painted in 1863 o another work by someone else (NOT Manet) painted AFTER 1863 and before 1945.
