The entry slide in art history lectures about modernism, the work remains among the “most audacious painting[s] ever seen in France,” as Ross King described it in \u003ci\u003eThe Judgement of Paris \u003c\/i\u003e(2006).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Manet did with \u003ci\u003eLe Déjeuner sur l’herbe\u003c\/i\u003e, the most provocative painters today collapse the historical and the contemporary onto one plane. Jeffrey Deitch invited a group of these influential artists to create their own versions, combined here with historical responses to Manet’s painting. The slim volume features these often biting and satirical works alongside essays discussing \u003ci\u003eLe Déjeuner sur l’herbe\u003c\/i\u003e’s enduring influence on contemporary figurative painting.","brand":"Jeffrey Deitch, Aruna D'Souza, Marina Molarsky-Beck","offers":[{"title":"Rizzoli |  Hardback  |  2024-04-09","offer_id":44663253008639,"sku":"9780847899876","price":47.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_bacddd83-c994-41f2-a8d9-dfba260f93b4.jpg?v=1707366246","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780847899876","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
