Manet - Soup Bubbles - The Suicide
The most known of Manet's paintings is Olympia. It was a scandal when first exhibited in 1863 although the public and critics had already seen many naked women in art history. However, they could not stand watching this contemporary woman, a courtesan, looking at them right in the eyes.
Through the times Olympia has been the inspiration for many artists that have done their version of this painting and perhaps Olympia is still shocking.
Few people got inspiration from this boy who is just playing with soup bubbles.
I believe it is quite beautiful and makes us see that simple things of quotidian life can also inspire artists.
Of course tragedy is also part of artists concerns and life: "The Suicide", 1877, is one subject that is hard to believe that Manet would paint.
