Painting Information
The Impressionist group, including Edgar Degas, Renoir, and Manet, expanded their subject matter beyond sunlit outdoor scenes to include depictions of city life in cafés, boulevards, and theatres. In the late 1870s, Manet delved into painting numerous café scenes.
While the style and brushwork exhibit Impressionist characteristics, Manet deviates from his usual approach by reverting to a darker palette dominated by shades of grey, black, and white. The presence of color is limited to the beer and the matchstick holder on the left side, along with a splash of red behind the auburn-haired waitress on the right.
Unusually, there is a lack of tension among the figures depicted in the crowded café. Two individuals are shown leaning in close, enjoying their drinks. The composition, featuring partially cropped figures and a truncated table, displays the influence of photography, possibly influenced by Manet's friendship with Degas. Their shared subject matter occasionally created tensions between them. The diagonal placement of the table cutting across the composition also evokes compositions by Degas, notably "The Tub" from 1886. While Degas often explored different viewpoints, altering the elevation, Manet rarely did so. As customary, Manet demonstrates an interest in the small, still-life objects that infuse vitality into the composition.
