I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) Disappointing c.f. incisive analysis of Goya by Hughes or the romantic picture of the late Renoir, both at Arovideo. This blustering presentation ignores influences on Manet or of his work on Impressionism. Millet is unmentioned. Manet paints in a vacuum. ~Sandy
