Perspective Full Episode: The Scandalous Saga of Manet's Painting

Waldemar looks at Le Dejeuner Sur L'Herbe, a large oil painting produced by Edouard Manet in 1862. This astonishing composition introduced an entirely new painterly approach, since it encompassed the genres of portraiture, landscape and still life within a single painting.

Luncheon on the Grass created a scandal when Manet showed it in 1863. The story behind the painting proves even more scandalous.

    I think they had a problem with her boldness, looking straight into the "camera" without any hint of self-consciousness. Surely she should have at least shown some shame! The other thing is - she's real. He does not airbrush out all her earthly features and flaws, does not idealize her in any way, which to me reveals her true beauty. I think the woman scared the art world half to death.

    Slavery in the USA was abolished on January 31, 1865. The earlier "emancipation proclamation" by Lincoln purported only to free slaves in areas that were not controlled by the Union. It had no basis in law. (Slavery remained codified in the Constitution.) The proclamation had no practical effect other than as propaganda.

    Manet's painting, profiled here, leaves me perplexed, in purpose and choice. It occurs to me that he may have largely made the choice to gain attention. Like Media is overwhelmingly used today. His later works are delicious, but I don't find this painting attractive, her expression is unattractive. The model just really doesn't speak of art, to me. It's an individual taste matter for each. Maybe, I don't get the 19th Century eye for beauty ... It is her expression, her attitude that speaks louder that her being nude. I would be interested in Manet's own statement's on the Painting and the Model. Clearly he was obsessed with her, and likely suffering some unfulfillment in his obsession. The "Olympia" painting, is just not a good painting, the legs look awkward, it looks like a student's, rather than achieved, and I don't pretend because "the Art Interrupter" is flowing with their compliments. One has to 1st feel visually positive towards the piece. Perhaps Manet is evolving, Maturing in Thought, and he certainly achieved a Higher Minded value of Thoughts, apparent in the extremely attractive later paintings.

    Is it possible that the woman in the painting is not, in fact, naked and that the painting is done to show that whenever women are present around men that is how men see them? Or is it done as appreciation for Victorine where he is coming upon the picnic and sees this woman he does love and see her only in her purest form? Is it possible her nudity is symbolic or implied rather than a woman sitting naked with men who don't so much have a shoe or sock off??

    Waldemar goes for the un-stuffy approach and sometimes throws in some vernacular expressions just to avoid the DREADFUL stultified delivery of absolutely *_every_* other art critic that appears in these Perspective videos. I only watch them to combat insomnia.
