Edouard Manet, "Still Life With Brioche"

11/22/2020

1 Comment

 
Édouard Manet, Still Life With Brioche, 1880; Carnegie Museum of Art.
Picture
There's only a small difference between the original (above) and the updated version of Manet's Nature morte à la brioche, but even so, notice the yellowing in the copy. Excessive editing has dulled the pink rose, altered the coloring of various other elements, and obscured a lot of the detail. A more accurate, first-hand photo is easily available at the museum's website.

Edouard Manet, "Le Bon Bock"

Édouard Manet, Le Bon Bock, 1873; The Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Picture
Such gorgeous, realistic detail in the original Manet painting, very engaging and impressive. Not so with the first version below, which is literally a pale imitation — possibly an overexposed photo. The second image below adds an unnatural, yellow tinge, removing the wonderful flesh tones of the original and changing the coloration of the composition as a whole. In addition, excess contrast has erased a lot of the small, superb touches that bring Le Bon Bock to life in the authentic work.

Edouard Manet, "Folkestone Boat, Boulogne"

Édouard Manet, "The Folkestone Boat, Boulogne," c.1868-72; The Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Picture
At first glance, the reproduction below (possibly a digitally altered image) doesn't look much different from the original. But a closer examination reveals that excessive contrast has erased a lot of beautiful detail. It's a shame, because the first-hand photo seen above is easily available at the website of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where the painting is located. No need to make changes; the authentic painting is bright, colorful, compelling, and full of movement "as is."

Édouard Manet, "Roses, Champagne Glass"

Édouard Manet, Roses in a Champagne Glass, 1882; The Burrell Collection.
Picture
The severely altered image below could be the result of a digital edit, but  it's more likely a recently painted reproduction, with highly imaginative coloring. The Burrell photo is consistent with Manet's other still life paintings, and is more textured, more interesting. Burrell mentions that "Manet was ill for the last two years of his life and gave this painting to a friend as a thank you for bringing him gifts of flowers and sweets."
