World Art History Certificate elective: Earn 1/2 credit* Art and History Lectures The Railway, by Edouard Manet, is an 1873 painting which is popularly known as the Gare Saint-Lazare.The painting is dominated by 2 figures: a middle-aged woman and a little girl. He teaches drawing for Smithsonian Associates and studied painting at Washington University in St. Glenshaw is an artist, educator, author, and filmmaker with more than 25 years' experience working across disciplines in the arts, history, and sciences. Why were his works such radical departures in French painting? What did this scene represent, only three years after the disastrous Franco-Prussian War of 1870? Glenshaw returns to northwest Paris and the Gare Saint-Lazare to explore Manet’s city and its changing times. When The Railway was first seen, Manet had once again presented high-minded Parisians with a truly modern scene of an everyday passing moment. A young girl next to her faces the opposite direction, seemingly staring at a huge cloud of water vapor from a passing train in the rail yard below. He delves into the time of the artist, explores the present they inhabited, and what shaped their vision and creations.Ī young woman stares out from the canvas, seated on a ledge in front of an iron rail. Popular Smithsonian Associates speaker Paul Glenshaw looks at great works of art in their historical context. Yet great works come from real people living real lives-whether their work was made 5 minutes or 500 years ago. Great art is timeless, and speaks to us across time, culture and space.

In his shortish life – he died of syphilis – he never really succeeded. He never stopped trying to get his work accepted. Unlike other avant-gardists, he never made militant noises, nor any statement of intentions.
He continually met with rejection, scandal, and derision.
He painted enigmatic but confrontational images of city life – Le Déjeuner sur l'Herbe, Olympia, A Bar at the Folies-Bergère. It's just a subliminal resonance – now you see it, now you don't – as your eye, reading signs, making patterns, seeking meanings, plays across the indifferent row of bars.Įdouard Manet (1832-83) is a cool and elusive culture-hero. Manet's magic is not to insist on finding the eternal in the contemporary. There's a hint of classical statuary in the girl's raised arm and, in the line of railings, there's a hint of a classical colonnade. The picture has a cut-out, cartoon clarity that keeps slipping into uncertainty. The other sinks untraceably into the face. One side of the woman's chin is boldly defined. The back of the girl's head and neck stands out against the billowing steam.
