About this Event
This book examines the work of French painter Édouard Manet from an unusual perspective. In contrast to conventional psycho-biographical approaches, the author develops a psychoanalytic analysis of Manet's oeuvre that emphasizes his painterly genealogy more than his personal past. Manet's engagement with his artistic predecessors changes the position of the spectators: They are drawn into his paintings and unexpectedly find themselves in a direct dialogue with them. Perceiving these complex processes opens up a new understanding of Manet's work.
