description: <b>Catalogue Entry:</b> <p>This painting, found in <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u>’s studio after his death, was never exhibited, and no indication of its original title has been discovered. Purchased by Edgar Degas, it was listed in early sales as Indian Woman or Mexican Woman. The <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">gypsy</u> designation appeared relatively late but has been accepted. Though a date in the 1860s is traditional — based on comparisons with Spanish dancers whom <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u> saw perform at the Paris Hippodrome in 1862 — Juliet Wilson-Bareau recently suggested that the composition is closer to works from the 1870s. </p> <p>Spanish culture and painting fascinated <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u>, and the loose, expressive brushwork of Velázquez and Goya heavily influenced him. The subject and identity of the model are perhaps less critical for the interpretation than the way in which the artist presents this exotic "other," who transgresses the norms associated with respectable French women of the era. Dark skin and tousled black hair mark her as an outsider, as does the bold, frontal pose. With one hand on her hip and a cigarette dangling from her lips, she exudes audacious self-confidence. Her gaze into the distance lends a thoughtful, even contemplative air. <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u>’s composition is equally daring. It includes passages that are difficult to read and optical inconsistencies, like the form on which the woman leans. Objects are cropped at unusual places — the horse’s head is cut off behind the ear. <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u> seems to have considered the canvas unfinished, and it is difficult to know how he would have completed it. <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">gypsy</u> with a Cigarette thus remains a tantalizing work, one of <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u>’s most enigmatic images of a daydreaming woman. </p> <p><b>Gallery Label:</b> </p> <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u> first became interested in gypsies in the early 1860s. Here, he presents his anonymous sitter as an exotic "other" who transgresses the norms associated with respectable French women—and polite society in general—of his time. The woman’s dark skin and tousled black hair mark her as an outsider, as does her bold frontal pose. With her left hand on her hip, her head leaning casually against her right hand, and a cigarette dangling from her lips, she exudes audacious self-confidence, while her gaze into the distance lends the work a thoughtful, even contemplative, air. Subjects such as this gave artists a freedom denied them in commissioned works.

description: <div class="description"> <p>The Old Musician, 1862 by Edouard <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u>, oil on canvas </p> <p>In a review of the 1846 Salon, poet and critic Charles Baudelaire urged artists to depict "the Heroism of Modern Life." <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u> embodied Baudelaire's urbane painter of contemporary Paris. Emperor Napoleon III ordered the renovation of Paris under the direction of Baron Haussmann, and early in the 1860s the slum where <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u> located his studio was being razed to accommodate the planned broad, tree-lined boulevards which still characterize the city. In the painting, <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u> represented a strolling musician flanked by a <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">gypsy</u> girl and infant, an acrobat, an urchin, a drunkard, and a ragpicker -- individuals the artist might have observed near his studio. The seemingly casual gathering is composed of the urban poor, all dispossessed by Haussmann. Neither anecdotal nor sentimental, <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u> studied them with the careful neutrality of an unbiased onlooker, and the distinctly modern ambiguity and detachment of The Old Musician are characteristic of all <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u>'s work. </p> <p>By placing pigments side by side rather than blending tones, <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u> could preserve the immediacy and directness of preliminary oil studies in his finished works. Effects produced by this technique were sharper and crisper than those obtained with academic method. When they first encountered <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u>'s work early in the 1860s, future impressionists such as Monet and Renoir admired his manner of painting and emulated <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">manet</u> as they forged the style known as impressionism. </p> <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.46637.html">National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.
