A Few Notes...

4/30/2015

So… your test is in 1 week… internship starts soon…. and most of you haven't done the last two homework assignments on quiz star!!!

I need to put grades in before you go on internship - and in order for you to not have to come back for a final exam in June - you need to have a cumulative grade higher than an 83 (some of you do not…) so GET THESE ASSIGNMENTS IN!!!

Also - Your final exam grade is your review presentation. I do not think at this point we will have time to review the essays you wrote, so I will post commentary on them so you can evaluate your own work - but I'd like to CHECK that you've done this assignment (pick the 4 long essays…) next Tuesday.

Otherwise - STUDY STUDY STUDY… :)

Manet, Olympia: Édouard Manet, Olympia, oil on canvas, 1863 (Musée d'Orsay, Paris) Speakers: Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker Édouard Manet brought to Realism his curiosity about social mores. However, he was not interested in mirroring polite parlor conversations and middle class promenades in the Bois de Boulogne (Paris’ Central Park). Rather, Manet invented subjects that set the Parisians’ teeth on edge. In 1865, Manet submitted his risqué painting of a courtesan greeting her client (in this case, you), Olympia, of 1863, to the French Salon. The jury for the 1865 Salon accepted this painting despite their disapproval of the subject matter, because two years earlier, Manet’s Luncheon on the Grass created such a stir when it was rejected from the Salon. (It was instead exhibited in Emperor Napoleon III’s conciliatory exhibition—the Salon des Réfusés, or the Exhibition of the Refused. Crowds came to the Salon des Réfusés specifically to laugh and jeer at what they considered Manet’s folly.) Somehow they were afraid another rejection would seem like a personal attack on Manet himself. The reasoning was odd, but the result was the same—Olympia became infamous and the painting had to be hung very high to protect it from physical attacks. Manet was a Realist, but sometimes his “real” situations shocked and rocked the Parisian art world to its foundations. His later work was much tamer. (Text by Dr. Beth Gersh-Nesic)
