Two Portrait Demos in Oil + Pastel

  • DAY 1 DEMO: GEORGE MOORE, 1879. PASTEL.

  • DAY 2 DEMO: BERTHE MORISOT. 1872. OIL.

George Moore (1879)

Artist: Edouard Manet (French, Paris 1832–1883 Paris)
Medium: Pastel on canvas
Dimensions: 21 3/4 x 13 7/8 in. (55.2 x 35.2 cm)
Location: The MET Museum, New York 

This pastel, executed in one sitting, depicts the Irish critic and novelist George Moore. He used it as the frontispiece for his book Modern Painting (1893), noting that as "a fresh-complexioned, fair-haired young man, the type most suitable to Manet's palette, [the artist] at once asked [him] to sit." Critics ridiculed this work when it was exhibited in 1880, calling it "Le Noyé repêché" (the drowned man fished out of the water). The picture is Manet’s only completed portrait of Moore; one of his unfinished canvases, George Moore at the Café (55.193), is in the Museum's collection.

Berthe Morisot (1872)

Artist: Edouard Manet (French, Paris 1832–1883 Paris)
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 55.5 cm × 40.5 cm (21.9 in × 15.9 in)
Location: Musée d'Orsay, Paris

Berthe Morisot with a Bouquet of Violets is an 1872 oil painting depicting fellow painter Berthe Morisot dressed in black mourning dress, with a barely visible bouquet of violets. Sometimes known as Portrait of Berthe Morisot, Berthe Morisot in a black hat or Young woman in a black hat, is in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Manet also created an etching and two lithographs of the same composition
