Cocktails with a Curator: Manet's "Bullfight"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 янв 2021
- In this week’s episode of “Cocktails with a Curator,” Curator Aimee Ng explores the turbulent history behind Édouard Manet’s “Bullfight,” once part of a larger work that the artist exhibited at the Salon of 1864. The original canvas was derided and caricatured by critics, prompting Manet to cut it into pieces. The two surviving fragments were brought together for the first and only time during a 1999 exhibition at the Frick. This week’s complementary cocktail is, fittingly enough, the Toreador.

FEATURED COCKTAIL: Toreador (blanco tequila, apricot brandy, lime juice, with a dash of bitters and served on the rocks); the mocktail is apricot nectar and sparkling water with a squeeze of lime. For the complete recipes, visit www.frick.org/cocktails-curator

The Frick is one of my favorite museums. Being able to explore the collections' paintings in greater depth is a real treat in lieu of being able to walk the halls. Thank you!
Thank you so much Aimee for a wonderful guide to Manet’s Bullfight. I have always liked the painting from the day I saw it at the Frick Collection and now I like it more ❤️
Thank you to the whole team that enables these and other videos from the Frick to continue. Living in London Uk here but have loved the few times that I have visited the Frick in the past. I miss visiting the Wallace Collection, the V&A and other great places at this time.
Stay Safe xo
Hello. I've been enjoying "Cocktails" for a while and love how the works are put in context with regard to time of the work, the artist's situation, the creative process, how the work was received (then and through the ages). ownerships through the ages (I bet there's a great French term for that)... it elevates one's appreciation for not just the work, but your personal dedication to it. Thanks.
That ownership word, and yes it is French, is provenance.
@@bookofdust Yes! Of course! Thanks!
Thank you Aimee
Thank you curators .
Wonderful lecture. Thanks so much Aimee
Thank you, Aimee Ng! What a pleasure.
So fun! I live in Pittsburgh where Frick's daughter, Helen , built a Roman - style villa which is a bijoux museum. I miss the NYC Frick.....but we have a fine legacy of Frick taste and discerment right here. I wish they ' d do a lical version
Thank you Aimee!
Thank you so much for another excellent episode. This fantastic series has been giving me great pleasure. As a British Library member of staff working from home, we are striving to put as much digitised content online as we can, and it is inspiring to take a coffee/cocktail break and see the excellent work that the Frick is doing, not only in making your collection available to the public, but also providing such terrific talks to really engage us and give us visual and intellectual delight! Jo.
Thank you Aimee
Excellent! Thank you
Enjoyed this installment, thank you! Happy to see him on the menu since his birthday was yesterday, 1/23. :) Your X-ray image suggests it, but of course he worked all around Dead Toreador with the same flat, moody background he used for other pieces with standalone subjects. I love this one and have a print. How cruel this tradition is, for the horses, too, as we see in his two paintings at the end.
The Toreador and the Jesus Salon paintings include difficult foreshortening; he’s showing off a skill.
So sweet of you to include the new year wishes, I send the same back to you and to everyone watching!
Another fantastic presentation!
I love this series!!
It's interesting that the original work that included both "The Bullfight" + "The Dead Toreador" has various names in books/internet: Incident in the Bullring; Incident in a Bullfight; Incident of a Bullfight; Incident at a Bullfight; Episode from a Bullfight!
Thank you Amy for another great presentation!
Thank you.
Excellent, as always.
So interesting and well presented, as always! Thank you!
Thank you for a joyous evening. Lucy
Brilliant as always! Love the series.
So interesting and insightful! Aimee connected the works through contrast and style. I loved this talk. thank you, kd
As always, very interesting. However, I would have liked to hear more about the painting itself and its techniques. You did touch on this in the context of the academic style and how his "broad brush" displeased the academicians, but I would love to have heard a little more about why he used this technique and what it achieved that was not possible with a "slick" finish. Nonetheless, thank you very much. I learnt a lot.
A true happy Friday !
Incredible
Another great episode I really believe you should collect all of them and create an audio guide of the Frick It's an amazing way to discover the collection deeper
I hope someday you'll put together a book to highlight these works with a dash of their history and the accompanying cocktail recipes!
This Frck collection really a hugh colllection some of them are known exchebeted Mones impressionist paintings in Palace of arts in Budapest (the building is commemorted by my anchesters Lipot Havel) at the Millenium squere.Considering the bullfight I took part on it myself as I have studiing and working in England 25 years ago but now I feel this kinde of sport quering.Dorsee I liked but I dont find myself too shuy to bee a modell.I enjoy all of your explonation .Goya painting saw I in Madrid.I having been a guide I like to develope all these subjects.I try to go retired.
It’s interesting that these two fragments are in the United States. Because they are fragments were they seen as lesser Manets and therefore more readily sold multiple times and ended up here. Or did the scandal from the Salon taint them and knowledgeable people in France had less interest in them, or think they were unworthy of personal collections or museums, where unaware American buyers purchased them unknowingly? I consider them textbook images of Manet, but that may be more likely because I’ve seen them in person, how do European, and French curators in particular, think of them artistically, or do they find their place in the history of art more of an interest?
Excellent presentation, but the acoustics in that room are really bad.
Mexico was never a colony of Spain, it was a Viceroyalty - entirely different things. Get it right.
Aimee, if you see this, why don't you take more than one sip of the cocktail? You should drain the glass all at once and say, "Oh yeah, baby! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!!" Just a suggestion.
Oh dear, not one I enjoyed this time. When did Mr Frick acquire this? Why did Manet decide to paint the bullfighters with so much less definition than the dead toreador? I was waiting for these comments. Sadly I found this presentation as disjointed as the painting.
