NotesEdouard Manet (1832 - 1883) was one of the most important and innovative artists of his time, a deliciously masterful painter who was skillfully able to translate his art into the various graphic media. A founding member of the Société des Aquafortistes in 1862, and thus actively taking part in the revival of printmaking as an art form in its own right, he was drawn to etching quite early on, with nearly all of his production dating to the 1860s. Although not a technician in the proper sense, he often sought to turn technique to advantage through bold experimentation.
