| Research Abstract |
I made research on the criticism of the major paintings of Manet and analyzed aspects of their reception. Five works treated are "Luncheon on the Grass", "Olympia", "Portrait of Emile Zola", "A Bar of the Folies-Bergere", "Railroad". The critical reactions on these works reveal how they deviated from aesthetic criteria of the era on the levels of treatment of subject, style and technique. Essentially, ambiguity or polysemy in Manet’s paintings put the comprehensions of spectators into confusion.
