Context #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraphCraigSimpson "The 'male gaze' in a Manet masterpiece has been highlighted by the Courtauld Gallery after curators introduced new labels addressing 'misogyny' in art. ... Manet's masterpiece, A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, has been reinterpreted with a new label which suggests that the painting has an 'unsettling' quality, because of the presence of a man on the canvas. The 1882 work depicts a barmaid staring out at the viewer of the painting and - in a mirrored image - towards a male patron of the eponymous Folies-Bergère (a Parisian cabaret club) who returns her gaze. The masterpiece has been relabelled to suggest the presence of a man gives it an 'unsettling quality' The 1882 work depicts a barmaid staring out at the viewer of the painting and - in a mirrored image - towards a male patron of the eponymous Folies-Bergère The female subject's 'enigmatic expression is unsettling', a new information panel states, 'especially as she appears to be interacting with a male customer'. The suggestion that an 'unsettling' quality of the painting is enhanced because the woman talking to a man has been criticised for unwitting 'misogyny', because it diminishes the position of the female model in the work." #TheoryFeministMaleGaze
