Review: Manet: the portrait of a modernist - In 'A bar a the Folies-Berger", a stunning painting and one of the most important paintings by Manet the woman depicted in the central scene, at the bar, is looking at us or through us? Is she bored or is she tired. This and other thousand questions that perhaps not every art-viewer think or ask him/herself. This is a complete and wonderful book about Manet's life and his marvelous paintings. Every chapter is a lecture by Pierre Bordieu. Highly recommended for every art lover!
Review: Thorough and not for easy-reading - This book on symbolic revolution consists of 18 lectures that Pierre Bordieu gave at the College de France (one of the most prestigious research institutes in France) in 1999 and 2000. The topic is abstract and difficult to grasp but each lecture is divided into manageable chunks with a very logical structure. The focal point that Bordieu keeps referring back to in his efforts to explain various ideas on symbolism and revolution in art is Edouard Manet painting "Luncheon on the Grass". All in all, it is not an easy read. However, if you are interested in impressionism, sociology, art history or Manet - by all means, this book will be a treat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superlative
*by A***I on 7 November 2017*

An amazing book. A collection of the lectures on Manet by Pierre Bourdieu given during 1998-2000. An excellent book, with really excellent Editor's and Translator's Notes and substantial Appendix which includes a summary of the lectures, really comprehensive notes, image credits and index. With all this mass of "eruditeness" it is amazing how accessible the lectures themselves are. The translation is sympathetic and mostly transparent. Word of waring - this is not a book for someone looking for an introduction to Manat.
