Eduard Manet (1832-1883), A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, 1881-1882
“Suzon stands alone in a crowded room. The look on her face is detached, melancholy, distracted from her job serving at the bar in the vast crowded room reflected in the glass behind her. There is a locket around her neck that is a token of another life, a love a long way from this job.
The dislocation of Suzon’s world is deliberate. Paris is a hall of mirrors where Suzon floats helplessly, clinging to her bar. The flowers are a touching attempt to preserve a little humanity, as are her neat blue clothes and whole demeanour.”
There were many, many nights when I was out and about in my show-going heyday that I felt just like this painting.
