bar alle folies bergère
A Bar at the Folies-Bergère (Frch: Un bar aux Folies Bergère) is a painting by Édouard Manet, considered to be his last major work. It was painted in 1882 and exhibited at the Paris Salon of that year. It depicts a sce in the Folies Bergère nightclub in Paris. The painting originally belonged to the composer Emmanuel Chabrier, a close frid of Manet, and hung over his piano. It is now in the Courtauld Gallery in London.
The painting exemplifies Manet's commitmt to Realism in its detailed represtation of a contemporary sce. Many features have puzzled critics but almost all of them have be shown to have a rationale, and the painting has be the subject of numerous popular and scholarly articles.
The ctral figure stands before a mirror, although critics—accusing Manet of ignorance of perspective and alleging various impossibilities in the painting—have debated this point since the earliest reviews were published. In 2000, however, a photograph tak from a suitable point of view of a staged reconstruction was shown to reproduce the sce as painted by Manet.

According to this reconstruction, "the conversation that many have assumed was transpiring betwe the barmaid and gtleman is revealed to be an optical trick—the man stands outside the painter's field of vision, to the left, and looks away from the barmaid, rather than standing right in front of her."
As it appears, the observer should be standing to the right and closer to the bar than the man whose reflection appears at the right edge of the picture. This is an unusual departure from the ctral point of view usually assumed wh viewing pictures drawn according to perspective.
It provides a meaningful parallel with Las Minas, a masterpiece by an artist Manet admired, Diego Velázquez. There has be a considerable developmt of this topic since Michel Foucault broached it in his book The Order of Things (1966).

The art historian Jeffrey Meyers describes the inttional play on perspective and the appart violation of the operations of mirrors: "Behind her, and extding for the tire lgth of the four-and-a-quarter-foot painting, is the gold frame of an ormous mirror. The Frch philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty has called a mirror 'the instrumt of a universal magic that changes things into spectacles, spectacles into things, me into others, and others into me.' We, the viewers, stand opposite the barmaid on the other side of the counter and, looking at the reflection in the mirror, see exactly what she sees... A critic has noted that Manet's 'preliminary study shows her placed off to the right, whereas in the finished canvas she is very much the ctre of atttion.' Though Manet shifted her from the right to the cter, he kept her reflection on the right. Se in the mirror, she seems gaged with a customer; in full face, she's self-protectively withdrawn and remote."
The painting is rich in details which provide clues to social class and milieu. The woman at the bar is a real person, known as Suzon, who worked at the Folies-Bergère in the early 1880s. For his painting, Manet posed her in his studio. By including a dish of oranges in the foreground, Manet idtifies the barmaid as a prostitute, according to art historian Larry L. Ligo, who says that Manet habitually associated oranges with prostitution in his paintings.
T.J. Clark says that the barmaid is "intded to represt one of the prostitutes for which the Folies-Bergère was well-known", who is represted "as both a salesperson and a commodity—something to be purchased along with a drink."

Other notable details include the pair of gre feet in the upper left-hand corner, which belong to a trapeze artist who is performing above the restaurant's patrons. The beer bottles depicted are easily idtified by the red triangle on the label as Bass Pale Ale, and the conspicuous presce of this British brand instead of German beer has be interpreted as documtation of anti-German stimt in France in the decade after the Franco-Prussian War.
The 1934 ballet Bar aux Folies-Bergère with choreography by Ninette de Valois and music of Chabrier was created from, and based around, Manet's painting.

The painting was the inspiration of a song (possibly by Sydney Carter) in the popular theatre production The Lyric Revue, in London in 1951. The refrain wt "Oh, how I long to be Back in my dear Brittany ... But fate has chos me For the bar at the Folies-Bergères".
The painting The Bar (1954) by Australian artist John Brack, which depicts a comparatively grim and austere Melbourne bar-room sce, is an ironic referce to A Bar at the Folies-Bergère.

The Tate Modern wall text for Picture for Wom, from the 2005–2006 exhibition Jeff Wall Photographs 1978–2004, outlines the influce of Manet's painting:
In Manet's painting, a barmaid gazes out of frame, observed by a shadowy male figure. The whole sce appears to be reflected in the mirror behind the bar, creating a complex web of viewpoints. Wall borrows the internal structure of the painting, and motifs such as the light bulbs that give it spatial depth. The figures are similarly reflected in a mirror, and the woman has the absorbed gaze and posture of Manet's barmaid, while the man is the artist himself. Though issues of the male gaze, particularly the power relationship betwe male artist and female model, and the viewer's role as onlooker, are implicit in Manet's painting, Wall updates the theme by positioning the camera at the ctre of the work, so that it captures the act of making the image (the sce reflected in the mirror) and, at the same time, looks straight out at us.[14] Referces and sources [ edit]This celebrated work is Édouard Manet’s last major painting, completed a year before he died, and exhibited in 1882 at the Salon (the official annual exhibition of the French Academy of Fine Arts). This would have been a startling painting for Salon visitors in many ways, not least because it seems to follow the traditional format of portraiture but does not name its subject. Indeed, the barmaid appears as just another item in the enticing array on offer in the foreground: wine, champagne, peppermint liqueur and British Bass beer, with its iconic red triangle logo.
The background shows a fashionable crowd mingling on the balcony, entertained by musical and circus acts below. In the top left, a trapeze artist in green boots adds to the excitement. This animated scene is in fact a reflection in the large gold-framed mirror, which projects it into the viewer’s own space.

Opened a decade or so earlier, the Folies-Bergère had rapidly become one of most popular music halls and places of entertainment in Paris. Manet frequented it with friends and made sketches on site. However, the final work was painted entirely in his studio, where a barmaid named Suzon came to pose. She is the painting’s still centre. Her enigmatic expression is unsettling, especially as she appears to be interacting with a male customer who is shown in the mirror. Ignoring normal perspective, Manet has shifted their reflection to the right. The bottles on the left are similarly misaligned in the mirror. This play of reflections emphasises the disorientating atmosphere of the bustling Folies-Bergère. In
