Édouard Manet was the man who scandalized Paris. Before Impressionism even had a name, Manet painted what others didn’t dare to see. Reality, modern life and the unapologetic beauty of imperfection. His brush broke rules with grace and from “Olympia” to “The Luncheon on the Grass” he forever changed the way the world looked at art. . . . #dailyimpressionists #frenchart #frenchartist #manet #edouardmanet #impressionistart #impressionism #realism #modernart #pioneer #portrait #arthistory #artgalle
