Product Description
Stripped to essentials: the reclining figure, her steady look, the servant and the black cat at her feet. Neoclassical Pop Art strips the composition back in this new version, a new oil that keeps only what matters. A cleaner, quieter take on modern art's most famous provocation.
Neoclassical Pop Art's “Olympia's Gaze” strips “Olympia” by Édouard Manet (1863, the Musée d'Orsay, Paris) back to essentials, a pared-back Pop version of a painting that changed modern art.
Manet’s Olympia inspired after Titian’s “Venus of Urbino”, created in 1538. And Titian’s Venus inspired after Giorgione's “Dresden Venus”, created in 1510.
The exhibition of Olympia mythological posture modeled by a French model served by a black servant and a black cat at her feet raised a scandal at the French Salon.
Manet's "abuse" of the academic traditionally idealized venus classical figure, posed by a local model, provoked a violent reaction among the critics. It serves as a historical reminder of the limited importance one must give critics, that at least in this case proved unable to seize the genuine aspects of Manet's contemporary masterpiece.
The Neoclassical Pop Art artwork features Eduard Manet standing in the background overlooking Olympia.
