Manet, Luncheon on the Grass, 1863?

One of my favorite paintings!!!!Luncheon on the grass was a very controversial painting. Especially because it displayed the female figures nude in the presence of fully clothed men.

Just find out what impressionism is and write about that…..e.g

im·pres·sion·ism a style of painting developed in the last third of the 19th century, characterized chiefly by short brush strokes of bright colors in immediate juxtaposition to represent the effect of light on objects.

b. a manner of painting in which the forms, colors, or tones of an object are lightly and rapidly indicated.

c. a manner of sculpture in which volumes are partially modeled and surfaces roughened to reflect light unevenly.

2. a theory and practice in literature that emphasizes immediate aspects of objects or actions without attention to details.

3. a late-19th-century and early-20th-century style of musical composition in which lush harmonies, subtle rhythms, and unusual tonal colors are used to evoke moods and impressions.
