An Edouard Manet Fan

In my opinion...one of the best books written on Edouard Manet. Well researched and enjoyable to read. Any Manet reader cannot pass this book up!!

A must-have for Manet lovers!!!

Beth Archer Brombert's Edouard Manet: Rebel in a Frock Coat is a must-have for anyone who loves 19th century art, especially that of the great Manet. Brombert has clearly done her research; not only does she critically examine the works of past art historians, she also analyses primary documents. Brombert writes well, clean and concise. The book is fresh and intriguing. I am a graduate student working on Manet's art and this book was a delight to read.
