A Bar at the Folies-Bergère
Manet's final masterpiece depicts a barmaid and her mirror reflection in ambiguous spatial relationships. The detached expression and impossible perspective create psychological alienation and modern isolation. The work explores consciousness, representation, and the fragmentation of modern urban experience. The painting questions reality and perception through its deliberate visual contradictions.
