Abstract (en)

Four essays on modernist painting in France, which examine Manet's last Salon painting Bar at the Folies-Bergère (London, Courtauld Institute); Zola's novel about the realist and impressionist movement, L'Oeuvre; Van Gogh's problematic versions of a single painting, La Berceuse; and the phenomenon of the series works in Monet's oeuvre of the 1880s and 1890s. Reveals the importance of music, especially by Wagner, as a paradigm for later 19th c. French painting, and shows the crucial significance of the concept of the masterpiece as thematized by Zola in his novel.
