After reading about Manet and his influence over artists of his generation and those that later came I noticed how inspirational he truly was. The piece on the right is a modern painting that was greatly influenced by Manet because of its detail, no-guidelines, and uniqueness. This piece is full of geometric shapes that all come together to form a story. This piece can also be divided into multiple stories because of the color division in the background. The geometric shapes form people and the current socializing they are doing. If one looks closely into this photo he or she can notice the action that is going on and how each figure (or person) is socializing with the one next to them. It looks like a dance party and the bright colors represent the happiness and excitement of the party. I enjoy this piece a lot because of the shapes that form people and in the mean time also has the mood set for the party. The combination of all the beautiful colors adds to the impact of the shapes and to the piece. The colors help with the movement of the photo and the movement of all the figures in the photo. This truly is a beautiful piece and it is greatly inspired by Manet. He was one of the first to create pieces that were not accepted by society and that told stories that were always shh-ed in public. Manet took great pride in his work and so did those that followed in his footsteps, and because of him artists like Philip Noyed were able to created pieces as the one above. Philip Noyed's pieces tell stories that during Manet's time would have been banned and frowned upon, but still are very beautiful pieces.
