Lee Miller and Roland Penrose, lovers, in the summer of 1937, lived in Mougins village above Cannes near Picasso's studio. Miller was probably staged their pose: Paul Éluard kiss Nusch Éluard, Penrose and Man Ray look bored. - Manet's female nude is thought to be Victorine Meurent, his favorite model, subject of Olympia. The male figure on the right was based on a combination of his two brothers, Eugène and Gustave. The other man is based on his brother-in-law, Dutch sculptor Ferdinand Leenhoff. By portraying an ordinary scene on such a large scale, Manet validated the seemingly mundane subjects, inspiring Impressionists like Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir to follow suit with Water Lilies and The Luncheon of the Boating Party, respectively.

VICTORINE MEURENT // PAINTER

“She was a French painter and a model for painters. Although she is best known as the favourite model of Edouard Manet, she was an artist in her own right who regularly exhibited at the prestigious Paris Salon. In 1876, her paintings were selected for inclusion at the Salon’s juried exhibition, when Manet’s work was not.”

Alias Olympia, par Eunice Lipton

En 1992 paraissait un ouvrage hybride, mélange d’autobiographie et d’historiographie, saupoudré d’un féminisme ardent : Alias Olympia. Son autrice, Eunice Lipton, historienne de l’art, y narrait comment elle s’était prise de passion pour le parcours de Victorine Meurent, modèle favori d’Édouard Manet et peintre installée, comment elle avait mené une enquête historiographique à son sujet, et comment ce travail était largement entré en résonance avec ses turpitudes familiales personnelles. Et le livre a fait date. Son impact émanait tout d’abord du coin de voile que Lipton levait sur le mystère Victorine Meurent. L’ouvrage frappait aussi par son réquisitoire contre une histoire de l’art résolument machiste, qui avait mis une incroyable énergie à la décrédibiliser puis à effacer son nom. Difficile, à la lecture, de ne pas être sensible au fossé entre ce qui fut dit de Victorine Meurent et ce que les faits décelables, aussi maigres fussent-ils, révèlent. Tout aussi singulier est l’aperçu que Lipton offre de sa quête qui l’apparente à un détective dont le bon déroulé de l’enquête ne tient qu’à un fil, où le moindre bout d’indice se fait désirer et qu’il faut parfois arracher à des fonctionnaires d’archives rétifs, où les bonnes surprises sont rares mais d’autant plus précieuses. Inutile, donc, de chercher dans ce livre un large exposé historique. Eunice Lipton va même jusqu'à faire parler Victorine Meurent pour quelques pages d’un journal intime inventé. Le procédé peut surprendre ou indisposer celui qui ne voudrait pas voir sa perception du personnage historique polluée par les rêveries d’une tardive exégète, mais le procédé ne relève pas davantage de la falsification que les rumeurs et médisances qui constituaient jusqu’ici l’essentiel du discours des historiens de l’art à son sujet. 

En tous cas, 30 ans après sa parution, l’ouvrage demeure percutant, en plus d’être d’une lecture aisée.

MWW Artwork of the Day (8/2/24) Édouard Manet (French, 1832-1883) Young Woman Reclining, in Spanish Costume (1862) Oil on canvas, 94 x 123 cm. Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven CT (Stephen Carlton Clark Bequest)

Manet displayed "Young Woman Reclining" in March 1863 with thirteen other works at the Gallery Martinet in Paris on the boulevard des Italiens. It has been suggested that the sitter is the studio model Victorine Meurent, who posed for a number of Manet's works, including the Olympia, exhibited at the Salon of 1865. Here she wears a man's Spanish costume, an act of cross-dressing practiced in the nineteenth century by members of the flourishing demimonde in Paris out to challenge bourgeois conventions. Incorporating attributes of both genders, the model's provocative double identity mirrors the duality of her passive pose and direct, aggressive gaze.
