Synopsis"Manet comes alive in Brombert's] pages. . . . At times her biography reads like a substantial and detailed 19th-century novel. . . . Brombert's Edouard Manet gives us not only a portrait of a complex artist but, in its authority and its range, a portrait of an age as well."--James R. Mellow, New York Times Book Review "One of the pleasures of reading her is to follow the way she weaves life, art and history into a smooth tapestry. The art emerges from the life, and in the broadest possible context: in terms of its creator's life and concerns and in terns of its historical and cultural setting."--Eric Gibson, The Washington Times Books "Richly detailed and informative . . . this biography] exposes the character of an artist who maintained a sharply defined duality between his public and private personas."--Edward J. Sozanski, Philadelphia Inquirer "Brombert's reading of important canvasses . . . shine, as do her accounts of the changing social and political environment in which Manet worked. . . . Well researched, complexly conceived, and clearly written."-- Kirkus Reviews "Brilliant . . . this book] grants us a far deeper understanding of why Manet's] paintings outraged so many of his peers, and why these same masterpieces resonate so richly in our psyches a century later."-- Booklist, starred review, "Manet comes alive in [Brombert's] pages. . . .
