Hi guys!

This time, I’m bringing you a sort of melting-pot of the last years on the 19th century.

First, a costume that could fit in this series, or in the Paintings series. It’s based on Edouard Manet's "Bar at the Folies-Bergères" (1882).



By 1874 Manet's reputation as experimental artist and leader of the Impressionists was firmly established.
The Cafe Guerbois, near Manet's studio, became the gathering spot for Monet, Renoir, Sisley, Degas and Pissaro and although Manet presided over the regular meeting and debates held at the cafe, he was not enthusiastic about his role as leader of the avant-garde.
In 1874, when the Impressionists held their first exhibition at Nadar's studio, Manet refused to participate, yet by no means did Manet abandon the Impressionists.
He worked closely with Monet in Argenteuil during 1874 and often gave financial support to his friends who needed it.
