Eva Gonzal\u00e8s was a french impressionist painter who typically portrayed contemporary Parisian life. Although Gonzal\u00e8s was considered an impressionist, her pieces displayed a realist style and stayed within the confines of what was considered acceptable in academic salons. She began painting at the age of 16 by studying under Charles Joshua Chaplin. She was unable to go to the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts because female students were not allowed to attend at the time, but her high social status granted her enough financial resources to allow her to have this artistic career. A few years later, she met Edouard Manet who would soon be a major influence on her style of painting. Manet took her on as a student after she did some modeling for his work; but as time went on, her audience and critics criticized her for being overly similar to Manet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though Gonzal\u00e8s’ paintings were judged for sharing nearly identical characteristics with Manet’s work, I feel like they also have dissimilar qualities. I found that Gonzal\u00e8s had a better depiction of the human face; whereas Manet’s faces look sort of distorted, especially in his painting, Woman Reading<\/em>. Overall, I don’t think that she deserved the backlash that she received because there were tons of artists in art history who drew inspiration from other painters’ work. The important part was that she stuck to her own content, she never copied the work of her mentor. Finally, I personally love Eva Gonzal\u00e8s’ work because of the fact that she had that realistic aspect while also having a looser characteristic to her art. I am particularly drawn to that type of work because I feel that it shows a special type of talent that I’ve only ever seen in Manet’s art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
