A Bar at the Folies-Bergere, 1882 by Edouard Manet

A Bar at the Folies-Bergere, 1882 by Edouard Manet

      I chose Edouard Manet's most popular piece of work "A Bar at the Folies-Bergere". I enjoyed this painting due to its detail and overall atmosphere. While he ignores on how some things should lie respectively, it gives us a whole other plane to look at and enjoy. In the painting the bar maiden stands in front of a mirror and we can see the reflection of a man also being places weirdly for the perspective, this is viewed as Manet himself or otherwise the viewer appreciating the painting.
