HIS MASTERPIECE,\u2019 which in the original French bears the title of L\u2019Oeuvre, is a strikingly accurate story of artistic life in Paris during the latter years of the Second Empire. Amusing at times, extremely pathetic and even painful at others, it not only contributes a necessary element to the Rougon-Macquart series of novels\u2014a series illustrative of all phases of life in France within certain dates\u2014but it also represents a particular period of M. Zola\u2019s own career and work. Some years, indeed, before the latter had made himself known at all widely as a novelist, he had acquired among Parisian painters and sculptors considerable notoriety as a revolutionary art critic, a fervent champion of that \u2018Open-air\u2019 school which came into being during the Second Empire, and which found its first real master in Edouard Manet, whose then derided works are regarded, in these later days, as masterpieces. Manet died before his genius was fully recognised; still he lived long enough to reap some measure of recognition and to see his influence triumph in more than one respect among his brother artists. Indeed, few if any painters left a stronger mark on the art of the second half of the nineteenth century than he did, even though the school, which he suggested rather than established, lapsed largely into mere impressionism\u2014a term, by the way, which he himself coined already in 1858; for it is an error to attribute it\u2014as is often done\u2014to his friend and junior, Claude Monet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
