Rerelease: Émile Zola’s Biography of Édouard Manet
/

In this episode, curator Scott Allan discusses a biography of Édouard Manet written by author and art critic Émile Zola. Édouard Manet was controversial during his lifetime, and the account discussed here, written by a critic and novelist he knew well, provides insight into his life and his art. This biography was published last year in a short book that is part of the Getty Publications Lives of the Artists series.

During the month of January, we are rereleasing some of our most popular episodes of Art + Ideas. This episode was originally released in August 2018.
