The artist married a piano teacher who worked for his wealthy parents. Her son, born out of wedlock, may have been ?douard's, his father's, or another man's. For all its complexities, Manet's family fueled his creativity. They were his most frequent models, and supported him emotionally and financially. \u003ci\u003eManet: A Model Family\u003c\/i\u003e is an innovative new exploration of the largely neglected story of the importance of Manet's family to his art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePresenting new research on works in which Manet depicted family members, \u003ci\u003eManet: A Model Family\u003c\/i\u003e shows how an understanding of the artist's family sheds crucial light on his artistic career. Manet's mother, wife, stepson, and other relatives--including his sister-in-law, the painter Berthe Morisot--are given long overdue recognition for their roles in Manet's life and work. Leading scholars present technical and archival analysis, including redating \u003ci\u003eMadame Auguste Manet\u003c\/i\u003e, an important, newly conserved painting of Manet's mother. In an essay inspired by that canvas, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Hilton Als reconsiders Manet's formative relationship with his mother and his bourgeois Parisian roots. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith its original account of Manet's domestic relationships and personal life, \u003ci\u003eManet: A Model Family\u003c\/i\u003e humanizes the artist and his contributions to the birth of modernism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIsabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston\u003cbr\u003eOctober 10, 2024-January 20, 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiana Seave Greenwald\u003c\/b\u003e is the William and Lia Poorvu Curator of the Collection at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.
