Courbet challenged the academic idea of art and addressed social issues in his work. By making the peasants, the poor and the rural bourgeoisie, his paintings were considered vulgar, yet he became a celebrity as the public became more interested in his works.

OlympiaÉdouard Manet

Oil on canvas1863

Another controverisal painting by Manet. The state of nudity or undress by the woman was deemed vulgar. Donning only the orchid in her hair, the slippers and the bracelet beside a fully clothed woman only made her more naked. Also, the fact that she is looking directly at the viewer, unabashed and lacking the modesty that women should have.

The artist gives free distortion of form and color through which he gives visual form to inner sensations and emotions.

The artist seeks to depict physical experience rather than physical reality.
