Exploring Édouard Manet’s Painting "A Bar at the Folies-Bergère” “A Bar at the Folies-Bergère,” Édouard Manet, 1882 (Photo via Wikimedia Commons, Public Domain) While many artists are remembered for their affiliation with one art movement, Édouard Manet is a painter who cannot be pinned down to a singular style. The Paris-born French painter emerged in the middle of the 19th century with groundbreaking works that bridged the gap between Realism and Impressionism.
His last major work, A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, is the culmination of his unique—and to some, controversial—approach to painting. Here we will learn more about Manet and explore the varied elements that make up this monumental painting. Who was Edouard Manet?
