Blake, William
Symbols and Signs
WebMuseum: Manet, Edouard
(b. Jan. 23, 1832, Paris, France--d. April 30, 1883, Paris) French painter and printmaker who in his own work accomplished the transition from the realism of Gustave Courbet to Impressionism . Manet broke new ground in choosing subjects from the events and appearances of his own time and in stressing the definition of painting as the arrangement of paint areas on a canvas over and above its function as representation. Exhibited in 1863 at the Salon des Refusés, his Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe ("Luncheon on the Grass") aroused the hostility of the critics and the enthusiasm of a group of young painters who later formed the nucleus of the Impressionists.

Virtual Museum: Individual Artists: Berthe Morisot
Berthe Morisot was a grand-daughter of the painter Fragonard and the sister-in-law of Manet , but her interest in painting was not the result of this connection. Early in her career she appeared in the Salon, but she foreswore Salon exhibition as a declaration of faith in the impressionist cause. This faith was enduring; she continued to paint impressionistically after Renoir and others had abandoned the cause.
