EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical print captures the essence of Edouard Manet, the renowned King of the Impressionists. The cover illustration from Les Contemporains, dated 16th June 1881, showcases Manet in all his artistic glory. Created by Alfred Le Petit, a talented satirical cartoonist of that era, this colour lithograph is a true gem. In this caricature-like portrait, we see Manet wearing a crown adorned with brushes and holding a sceptre made out of paintbrushes. His distinctive beard adds to his regal appearance while also reflecting his rebellious nature as an artist. With a mischievous smile on his face and Gaulish features reminiscent of ancient warriors, he exudes confidence and creativity. Le Petit's satirical touch can be seen in the exaggerated palette held by Manet - symbolizing both his mastery over color and his bold artistic choices. This playful depiction perfectly encapsulates Manet's contribution to the Impressionist movement. Displayed against a backdrop featuring one of Manet's famous works "Le Bon Bock" this print pays homage to both the artist himself and his iconic painting style. It serves as a reminder of how he revolutionized art through brushstrokes that captured fleeting moments with light and spontaneity. A must-have for any art lover or enthusiast, this image brings together elements of satire, history, and artistic brilliance into one stunning composition.
