Is Manets “nana” realist or impressionist?

0

Whether Manet was a realist or an impressionist continues to be debated. He was certainly a pivotal figure marking a turn in painting, a turn toward modernism. And he is considered a transitional figure between realism and impressionism. But things are not so simple. Though his images were new and shocking in their crudeness (what was seen as crudeness at the time, both in subject matter, and how he put the paint down), and he was looked to by younger painters, those who would become the most famous Impressionists, as a kind of leader, he himself never embraced Impressionism and never exhibited with the Impressionists. It’s equally difficult to confine his painting “Nana” to one category. However, I would say that it is more a realist painting than an impressionist one.
