{"product_id":"manet-the-still-life-paintings","title":"Manet: The Still Life Paintings","description":"Of all the paintings by the Impressionist master Edouard Manet, nearly one-fifth are still lifes, a genre the artist himself considered “the touchstone of painting.” This sumptuous volume, published to accompany a landmark exhibition at the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore and at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, is the first major book to focus on this crucial aspect of Manet’s work.\nThroughout his career, and especially later in his life, Manet devoted considerable energy to still lifes, producing oils, watercolors, and prints that unite exuberant personal expression with a flawless mastery of light and detail. With informative text, including an enlightening essay by Henri Loyrette, director of the Musée d’Orsay, Manet: The Still-Life Paintings features lush, full-page colorplates as well as full-bleed details of what some critics consider the finest examples of still-life painting ever executed.\nThe exhibition this book accompanies has been organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Réunion des Musées Nationaux\/Musée d’Orsay, Paris.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0810943913\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0810943913.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mauner, George\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
