Term
The Artist’s Studio, a Real Allegory Summing up Seven Years of my Artistic and Moral Life (The Painter in His Studio)
Definition
Gustave Courbet, 1855
Allegorical figure reference. Every person in photo has either helped or hurt him. Modern due to clothing on floor, like studio model. Bridged gap from modern Salon painting.
Term
Olympia
Definition
Edouard Manet, 1865
Female nude no longer allegorical, just naked chick. People are motivated by sex and death but society suppresses this. Monet gives her less of cultural shroud. Any woman could be hidden prostitute. This is financial transaction. Challenging stare. Not shared passion, just money.
Term
Boulevard des Capucines
Definition
Claude Monet, 1873
Captures movement of people. Zola harps on passion of painting, conveying sensory experience and feeling. Photo couldn't convey the "liveliness"
Term

Definition
Mary Cassatt, 1880
Male gaze?
Term
The Models (Les Poseuses

Pastoral/idyllic. Creates space despite disparities in form. Clearly artificial. No longer the here and now.
