Manet: The Still-Life Paintings by George Mauner

The first major book to focus on a crucial aspect of Manet's work. Nearly one fifth of Manet's paintings are still lifes, a genre the artist himself considered 'the touchstone of painting'. He devoted considerable energy to still lifes, producing oils, watercolours, and prints that unite exuberant personal expression with a flawless mastery of light and detail.
George Mauner is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Art History at Pennsylvania State University. Henri Loyrette is the director of the Musee d'Orsay in Paris.
