Édouard Manet 1832 - 1883
Manet was born January 23, 1832. He was an artist who lived in Paris, France and focused on paintings during the Realism movement.
In 1848 Manet's father had dreams of wanting his son to join the Navy. After two attempts including sending him to Brazil on a training vessel, his father realized this wasn't for him. Manet continued his studies, and pursued his goal of becoming a painter with the guidance's of a former academic painter Thomas Couture.
Being Manet was a French painter who was influenced by most of his friends who were impressionist, He developed his own technique that would later inspire painters of the future. He used his masterpiece's to make connections between realism and impressionism. Most of his masterpiece's looked photographic-like, which contained a mixture of painting styles. The birth of photographic paintings during this period of time encouraged Manet in using color to make his art pieces more lively.
" The Spanish Singer " was painted by Manet on a oil based canvas with dimensions of 147.3 cm x 114.3 ( 58in x 45in ). This work demonstrates an Spanish music theme full of culture from Spain during 1860. This piece shows a left handed man siting on a bench playing with a guitar. The singer has on Spanish and French clothing. This wasn't an real event. Manet was paid a visit by a model in his studio, where he created this masterpiece. Diego Velazquez was one of the Spanish artists who had an impact on him.
The colors that were used were to make a vivid, and realistic theme. Manet's motive was to take the vision he viewed of this model who appeared before him and make his painting as close as possible to life. This consists of a sharp, accurate lining that gives off a clear graphic look. The bold vigorous brush Manet helped him depict a little lighting behind the guitarist hands, as well as using strokes to create a dim lighting that provided high levels of saturation.
Manet tried to make his paintings close to real as possible, This was a image he had inside of him that was real to him but not to the world. " The Spanish Singer " wasn't a real person he was a model he painted as a singer. In the 19th century Nihilism was shown in a rationalism way by a former artist Friedrich Heinrich Jacob (1743-1819). To some critics it is unreal to be embraced in a Spanish culture and have a mixture of Spanish and French clothing on. This is the part that is unreal to other but to Manet, its something he created in his head and expressed it in his drawing.
