To keep up with our previous post about Courtauld Gallery, we are pleased to introduce with you all two beautiful artworks that surprisingly linked with each other:
A very famous artwork of Edouard-Manet, “A Bar at the Folies Bergère” (1882) and Jeff Wall, "A Picture for women"

Let’s enjoy both (artworks) together!

A Bar at the Folies Bergère of Edouard Manet is displayed in the Room Six archive of Courtauld Gallery

A Bar at the Folies-Bergère depicts a scene from ‘Modern’ Parisian life: a young barmaid poised behind the bar of a bustling night-club. The barmaid is shown before a mirror, which reflects the audience watching a performance. It is quite rare and revolutionary for a a common woman to be portrayed in such a controversial setting (a bar) like this during the 19th century in Europe.
Probably because of this reason, during his time studying at the Courtauld Institute in London, Jeff Wall was intrigued to study this work by Edouard Manet– a 19th century French impressionist who was famous for painting social Parisian life.
Later on in his career, Jeff Wall’s work *A Bar at the Folies-Bergère* from 1882 bears a striking similarity to Wall’s picture, taken almost a century later. Jeff Wall described his photograph *Picture for Women* as a ‘remake’ of Édouard Manet’s painting *A Bar at the Folies-Bergère.*

This artwork is now displayed in the Centre Georges Pompidou*, Paris
The motif of the mirror reflection is fundamental to both artworks and foregrounds mutual concerns about spectatorship, the dynamics of the gaze and spatial relations. In each case, the mirror transforms pictorial space by reincorporating the off-frame zone, juxtaposing heterogeneous fields of vision and conflating multiple surfaces.
Please enjoy both, compare and try to find as much as possible the similarities between them pointing the influences / inspirations of Edouard-Manet's artwork.
