Although he was not completely unconcerned with subject matter, Manet used the traditional concept of content only as a point of departure one that led him in many different directions. he was interested in exploring new subject matter, new paintering values and physical (non-vulgar) beauty. Most of his works shows naked women, as a result many of the people in Europe were in shock. |
