Hello Arties, Edouard Manet's "At Père Lathuille" :1879... MMMM, Well, when my eyes first set sight on this intensely romantic extravagant painting I was seduced by the look of awe and wonder in the young gentleman's eyes as he covets the demoiselle, that and my detrimental opinion to the offensive repelling and rather pubic looking fluff on his upper lip! OOO....How fab it is
to be looked at that way by a man! Then on further investigation I discover that this creation is but a witty bathetic jibe at romance! Manet's humor combines with his love of pretty women in pretty clothes. Humor is so obviously present since the subject Manet had chosen was a gigolo of prepossessing air, seducing a much older woman under the ironic eye of the waiter. The admirably free composition was painted at the restaurant Du Père Lathuille, and features the owner's son as the gigolo. The woman was Mlle Judith French, a relative of Jacques Offenbach and German-born French composer, Manet does wonders painting his models,feasting himself on the every tiny detail. I shall except his witty intention and admire his scenery, colour palette and subject matter : but Manet, my Cherie, personally I am offended by the Mademoiselle's exceedingly large gaping nostrils !!
