ME AT THE BAR AT THE FOLLIES

My dioramic interpretation of The Girl at the Bar at the Follies is painted in the same impossible perspective as in Manet’s original.



Although the schewed perspective of the original painting by Manet made it possible to see the reflection of the man standing in front of the bar, I wanted to examine what this scene would look like if done in the proper perspective.

In order to do this I placed myself in the painting standing at the bar and the scene is being viewed by an observer and painter, me.

　Note, this is a flat painting not a diorama; however, it has a strong three dimensional effect.
