2.		The Painting of Modern Life: Paris in the Art of Manet and His Followers from Princeton Univ Pr Customer Review: Seurat's,'La Grande Jatte' spelled the limits of petti-borgeoise modernity. For the previous 20 years, the Impressionists, led by the incomparably gifted, Manet, had attempted to make images describing this class, their appearance & behaviour. However,the Impressionists were bourgeoise &... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Impressionist Quartet : The Intimate Genius of Manet and Morisot, Degas and Cassatt from Harcourt Price: $16.38 Customer Review: Think carefully before buying this book. You won't finish it. The author spends most of his time describing (but not really analyzing) numerous works of art which are not illustrated in the book. At first, I tried to look up each image online, but with the number of paintings he writes about, it... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Last Flowers of Manet from Harry N Abrams Price: $12.98 Customer Review: A wonderful yet small collection of reproductions of Manet's last works. A very great artist, at the end of his days, paints exquisite small works of flowers. What else could you want?	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Manet : The Still Life Paintings from Harry N Abrams Price: $27.97 Customer Review: I journeyed to the Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore to see the exhibition. "MANET - The Still Life Paintings" which is on view until April 22, 2001. The show was previously at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. It is a lovely, intimate show. The majority of these gorgeous still lifes of fruits, vegetables... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Alias Olympia: A Woman's Search for Manet's Notorious Model & Her Own Desire from Cornell University Press Price: $16.95 Customer Review: Being an avid admirer of Manet and of the paintings in which Victorine Meurent appeared, I was happy to see a book about her. Finally, I would be able to learn something of her and her life! I learned that she was a Lesbian and died in 1927 and not as a destitute alcoholic as written in some rather... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Twelve Views of Manet's Bar from Princeton University Press Price: $17.79 Customer Review: As a lawyer who has clients involved in the art world, and has Manet (reproductions) on his wall, I have actually recommended this book to people who are thinking about applying to law school. While this may not make immediate sense to a non-lawyer (and may turn you non-lawyers off about the book),... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Manet's Modernism : or, The Face of Painting in the 1860s from University Of Chicago Press Price: $60.00	Click here for more information


9.		Manet and the Family Romance from Princeton University Press Price: $19.77 Customer Review: Speculative indeed. The crux of the book is the assumption that Manet's father fathered Leon and young Manet married Suzanne to protect the family name. But if so, why wait until the father died to marry her? And does it make sense psychologically that Manet would marry and love (as his letters to... more info	Customer Rating: 1.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Manet (Masters of Art) from Harry N Abrams Price: $12.97 Customer Review: This book is only average, at least as far as reproduction of the artist's paintings is concerned. Too many of the paintings are reproduced in black & white, and those in color do not look quite right--the colors (and depth of color) aren't as beautiful as they appear in some other books.
