UCCS Physics III PES 213
Bar at the Follies, 1881
Artist: Edouard Manet (1832-1883)
Edouard Manet (1832-1883), a French painter, is considered to be the senior figure among the artists of the Impressionist School. Manet studied the works of Dutch artist Frans Hals in Holland in 1872. Hals taught him to liberate his brushstrokes when creating and to paint with more energy and verve. These techniques provided a basis for Manet to become one of the founders of the Impressionist Movement.
The bar and all its elements are reflected in the mirror in a distorted and slanted fashion. The bar counter's reflection is considerably shorter than the real counter. Groups of bottles arranged on the counter appear to be positioned differently in the mirror. Even though the mirror reflects a large area of the nightclub, it does not reflect the viewer. Presumably the viewer's reflection is blocked by the barmaid positioned behind the bar, directly facing the viewer. While the barmaid's back is reflected in the mirror, this reflection is at an impossible angle. Furthermore, her reflection shows her in conversation with a mustached man in a top hat, who is not present in front of the bar.
