Manet Viewing/Viewing Manet: "A Bar at the Folies-Bergère" in Context
Many of Manet's figures are actively engaged in looking at each other, at themselves, or at something beyond the picture frame—including the viewer. John House, Walter H. Annenberg Professor at the Courtauld Institute of Art, explores these devices as expressions of Manet's notion of modernity.
