Both the French artist Edouard Manet and the American artist George Bellows saw their respective worlds through the lens of realism. The curators of Manet: Portraying Life
and ‘George Bellows’ – MaryAnne Stevens, Ann Dumas, and Charles Brock (National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC) – probe the two artists’ individual interpretations.
