Édouard Manet (1882-1883), whose radical eye, as seen in controversial works like 'Olympia' brought modern life, depicted in his scenes of Parisians at leisure, the legacy of historical painting, and the politics of France into a crucible that merged realism and impressionism. His bold painterly hand translates beautifully into printmaking through his bravura mark making, confident and vibrant. Hailed as an avant-garde visionary by his contemporaries Charles Baudelaire and Émile Zola, reviled by an outraged and increasingly irrelevant Academie, he brought radical change to the art world of 19th century Paris and is recognized as a founding father of Modernity.
