Vuillard's self Image
Edouard Vuillard (1868-1940) Inspired by the synthetism of Paul Gauguin, Vuillard, along with Pierre Bonnard, Paul Serusier, and Maurice Denis, established the Nabis Movement. Vuillard's images of everyday life have a robust, and decorative surface. His self portraits reveal a man willing to expose his inner ambivalence. Sometimes brooding, sometimes humorous, Vuillard's evolving image is often shown within a mirror's frame, reminding us of the private nature of his self analysis.
Manet's Men
Edouard Manet (1832-1883) was born into affluence but chose the lowlife profession of the artist. His social position allowed him to take artistic risks those dependent on sales would rarely make. Manet depicted his life in candid and progressive terms. His depictions of men have a lively touch that went from realism to impressionism while retaining a touch of drama inspired by his love of Spanish Baroque painting.
