In the second part of our series on understanding modern art we explore the work and ideas of Edouard Manet, another French painter who is considered a turning point between traditional and modern art. Manet's work depicted the Paris of his times in a candid fashion, and his ideas would have knock on effects for the artists who came after him. As we follow on from our video on Cézanne, this essay on Manet shows some of the differences and similarities between the two and their influential work. These French painters and their work are a great case study for understanding what modern art is and how it came to be.

The Arts Hole Is a channel devoted to exploring questions about art. We make videos that cover a variety of topics within the arts and try to explain them in as straight forward a fashion as possible. If your vaguely interested in things like painting, sculpture, art history, criticism, critical theory or other high falutin topics stick around. I'll be uploading videos on various topics each week. The main goal of all this extra work I'm making for myself is to help both you and me gain a better understanding of these complex topics and maybe, eventually come to some sort of understanding about modern and contemporary art.
