Manet, Monet, Money, the Oloron painting movement

Posted on December 6, 2022

The first floor of the magnificent building offers a spectacular view of the Faubourg de Sainte-Croix. Fascinated, the famous painter improvised his workshop there. In a few days, he created a canvas representing the silhouette of a man, painted from behind, leaning on the balustrade of a gallery, wearing a felt hat, with a white cat on his right surrounded by red toilets. On the right of the painting, Manet painted a group of houses with slate roofs while on the left, he drew a countryside of some poplars. Those close to the painter knew Léon Leenhoff, his adopted son at the age of 19. According to specialists in the work of Manet, the artist emphasizes the cold hardness of this gallery with his gray walls and his light red uprights, which contrast against the chaos of the roofs and the hill that view. Manet would have objected to the beauty of the landscape overlooking the Given this character dressed in dark.

A table as money

Despite his rising fame, the painter encountered serious financial difficulties. Devastated by the war that bled the country, Manet is said to have paid for the stay of his relatives in Haut-Béarn by painting a few canvases. As for “Oloron Sainte Marie”, Manet allegedly sold it for 200Frs to a Parisian restaurateur with whom he was associated. The work was then sold to an art dealer, then sold again, before falling into the hands of a wealthy Swiss collector, Emile Bührle. This German immigrant in Zurich bought, during the Second World War, many works stolen from the Jews by the Nazis. Thus he contains a private collection of international reputation whose signatures make you wonder: Picasso, Monet, Manet, Van Gogh, Degas and others. “Oloron” entered the prestigious collection in 1960. This Sunday, February 10, 2008, it would be good if he left them permanently.
