Creator Name: Manet, Édouard Creator Nationality: European; French Creator Role: Artist Creator Dates/Places: 1832 - 1883 Biography: Born into a wealthy family, ¿douard Manet was encouraged in his artistic curiosity by his uncle and often visited the Louvre with his college friend Antonin Proust. Initially, however, Manet wanted to pursue a naval career. It was not until he failed the entrance exams for the naval academy that he decided to pursue a career as an artist. In 1850 he entered the studio of Couture (q.v.), whose reputation had risen sharply after exhibiting his Romans of the Decadence (Salon 1847, Mus¿e d'Orsay, Paris). Couture wanted to circumvent conventional academic training and combined traditional painting methods with new techniques-for example, allowing underpaint to form an intrinsic part of the final composition, which resulted in a sketchy appearance. Manet would absorb this technique into his work. He had no strict need to sell his artwork; rather, he longed for recognition as an artist. He responded to Charles Baudelaire's call to young artists to paint contemporary life rather than antiquity Gender: M Creator Birth Place: Paris, 23 January 1832 Creator Death Place: Paris, 20 April 1883 Creator Name-CRT: Edouard Manet Title: The Cats Title Type: Primary Title: Les Chats Title Type: Foreign View: Full View Creation Start Date: 1868 Creation End Date: 1869 Creation Date: 1868-1869 Object Type: Prints Materials and Techniques: etching Dimensions: Sheet: 32.4cm x 45.4cm, Platemark: 17.3cm x 21.5cm AMICA Contributor: The Cleveland Museum of Art Owner Location: Cleveland, Ohio, USA ID Number: 1922.195 Credit Line: Gift of Ralph King Rights: http://www.clemusart.com/museum/disclaim2.html AMICA ID: CMA_.1922.195 AMICA Library Year: 2000 Media Metadata Rights: Copyright, The Cleveland Museum of Art AMICA PUBLIC RIGHTS: a) Access to the materials is granted for personal and non-commercial use. b) A full educational license for non-commercial use is available from Cartography Associates at www.davidrumsey.com/amica/institution_subscribe.html c) Licensed users may continue their examination of additional materials provided by Cartography Associates, and d) commercial rights are available from the rights holder.
