... in 1832 was the great French painter Edouard Manet. Last year I greeted this birthday with the heading 'Manet Happy Returns'. Shame on me - I shan't be doing that again; there are only so manet times you can crack that one. I like his flower paintings very much, so here is one - though you might say that this one is more of a vase painting...

About Me
- Nige
- Nige, who, like Mr Kenneth Horne, prefers to remain anonymous, was also a founder blogger of The Dabbler and a co-blogger on the Bryan Appleyard Thought Experiments blog. He is the sole blogger on this one, and his principal aim is to share various of life's pleasures. These tend to relate to books, art, poems, butterflies, birds, churches, music, walking, weather, drink, etc, with occasional references to the passing scene. His book, The Mother of Beauty: On the Golden Age of English Church Monuments, and Other Matters of Life and Death, is available on Amazon or direct from the author.
Rather like the annual word-play Nige - it has had quite an impression on me. Also admire the subtle grace-note of a shift from Absinthe yesterday to The Absinthe Drinker today.....you are a deep pool Nige, a deep pool.
ReplyDelete...I shan't be doing that again...
ReplyDeleteI hope so too - your Manet puns are becoming quite the folly (Bergère)...
...and when I read Joey JJ Jr's comment I immediately thought 'at last, Nige has Matisse match'.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous painting! Many thanks Nige.
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that half of it shows the stems underwater. They seem more fascinating than the blooms, more real and less cliched somehow. A lot of his work shows life in its less formal aspect, more relaxed than the uptight Victoriana which surrounded him. He was one of us I think, ahead of his time.
