"Carol Armstrong looks closely at Manet's works to uncover a novel and compelling view not only of the artist but also of modernity itself. As she places his art within frameworks of color, the feminine Other (the 'Manette' in 'Manet'), and consumerism, Armstrong greatly expands and revises our understanding of this artist as a painter of modern life."
