This assignment is based on the required readings that discuss the artists Gustave Courbet and Edouard Manet. Using the information from those readings and the FADIS images that correspond to them, write a short essay (approximately 3-4 pages or 1000-1200 words, typewritten, double-spaced) comparing the innovations of Gustave Courbet to those of Edouard Manet. Address the following in your essay:
• How did each artist contribute individually to the “rise of modernism?’”
• What similarities do you find in their approach to their work both technically and stylistically, their attitude toward critics, and their status as innovators of their time?
• What differences do you see in their contributions to Modern art?
• Use at least one specific artistic example from each artist to substantiate your points. Be detailed when discussing the image and show how it illustrates visually the points you make.
This essay is your own critical analysis of the two artists, but you must utilize the required readings to formulate your commentary and cite from those sources. These include primary sources such as the critical voices of Baudelaire Buchon, Champfleury, Courbet (speaking about himself) and Zola (see their writings in the Module 1 Week 2 required readings folder) who were friends with the artists and writers/critics. Although I prefer you read them all, you should at the very least have two sources each from Courbet and Manet as reference.

THE OTHER 3 READINGS ARE IN THE FILES ATTACHED.
Your essay should be no more than 3-4 pages or 1000-1200 words, typewritten, double-spaced. Please use Times or Times New Roman for your paper as it is easier to read online.
You may quote from the readings, but if you do, you must cite your source within your essay (use author and page number next to quote — MLA format).
NOTE: I will not accept papers that use sources other than the assigned readings (especially Wikipedia)
