 With letters being the main form of communication during Manet's time I feel it is important to include his correspondence. Apart from his school reports about his lack of application and poor handwriting, little is known about Manet's early years until his voyage to Rio on a naval training ship. As you read his letters you will come to know Manet. Most of the letters from his later years will include a drawing or watercolor. When Manet was ill he wasn't allowed to paint large works in oil. To replace this he added watercolor drawings to his letters. |
