«Manet» is Georges Bataille's essay on the work of painter Édouard Manet, published by Skira International Corporation in hardback, in Spanish.
Bataille examines Édouard Manet's painting as a decisive moment towards modernity: the break with academic tradition, the scandalous reception of Olympia and its relationship with Impressionism. The text addresses the historical and cultural context of the nineteenth century and the viewer's gaze before the work.
This Spanish edition was published in May 1992 within the La Peinture collection and includes an introduction by Françoise Cachin. Bataille's original text appeared in 1955.
For readers interested in art history, the figure of Manet and the relationship between painting and philosophy.
Georges Albert Maurice Victor Bataille was a French intellectual working in philosophy, literature, sociology, anthropology, and history of art. His writing, which included essays, novels, and poetry, explored such subjects as eroticism, mysticism, surrealism, and transgression. His work would prove influential on subsequent schools of philosophy and social theory, including post-structuralism.
