How Manet Changed Art History
In the world of art, Édouard Manet is known as the founding father of modernism. His short but powerful life set a framework of rebellious creativity through his rejection of the status quo, upon which Impressionists and Post-Impressionists built budding, experimental careers. Manet impacted the future of art as we know it. Together, let’s explore the change-making career of Manet and how he changed art history.
A touch of modernism
Before diving into the fruitful career of Manet, let’s talk about modernism. Modernism is an overarching movement in culture and society that took place at the end of the 19th century and into the 20th. It was during this time that artists branched away from academic painterly styles to portray the world around them. They did this through the use of new materials and artistic approaches.
Although there are several styles and periods of art under the umbrella of modernism, there are also various, reoccurring principles that tie them together. This includes a rejection of conservative values, generally inspired by multiple social and political movements. As well as the experimentation of craft and technique.

Currently on view atThe Met through January 7, Manet/Degas tells a story of novelistic depth about a complex friendship and rivalry that led to one of the most significant artistic dialogues of modern art and ends (sort of) with Manet’s death and Degas’s blindness
Common biographical threads
As the exhibition Manet / Degas sets out, many of the details of Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas’s biographies run in striking parallel. Manet was born in 1832; Degas in 1834—both in Paris, both to affluent families. Manet took up a failed apprenticeship as a sailor before studying painting at the studio of Thomas Couture, a French history painter and teacher. Degas studied law before training as a painter at, among other places, the famed École des Beaux-Arts. As part of their independent studies, both men traveled extensively in Italy in the 1850s, immersing themselves in masterpieces of European art, many of which they copied. Reputedly, they met at the Louvre in the early 1860s. Degas was making an engraved copy on a copper plate of a Velázquez’s painting, Infanta Margarita, which impressed Manet, since he was interested in the painting, too. For a few years, these two men, bound additionally by patriotic fervor during the Franco-Prussian war (1870–1), socialized r
