Modernism

Manet was credited with painting one of the first Modernist artworks: Olympia (1865), which depicted a confident Parisian prostitute attended by a fully clothed maid. Breaking the traditions of the Salon, and the aristocratic subjects within, Modernists like Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, and Manet paved the way for future generations of artists and movements like Futurism, Cubism, and Abstract Expressionism.
