EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the pastel on canvas portrait of George Moore, created by the renowned artist Edouard Manet in 1879. The artwork, measuring 55.2x35.2 cm, is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. George Augustus Moore, an Irish critic and novelist known for his work "Esther Waters" is depicted with a striking realism that captures his essence. However, when this piece was exhibited in 1880, critics mercilessly ridiculed it and dubbed it "Le Noyerepche" meaning "the drowned man fished out of the water". Despite this initial criticism, W. B. Yeats famously described Moore as being carved out of a turnip. In this French impressionist masterpiece, Manet skillfully portrays Moore's bearded countenance and distinctive moustache while incorporating elements of Celtic revival through his choice of subject matter. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the carefully crafted cravat to the pale complexion that adds depth to Moore's portrait. This photograph not only celebrates Manet's contribution to impressionism but also pays homage to George Moore's literary legacy as an influential writer. It serves as a reminder that even great works can face censorship or ridicule before eventually finding their rightful place among art enthusiasts worldwide.
