Luncheon On the Grass
Has anyone ever heard of Edouard Manet?
The late artist painted something controversial in his day.
Art connoisseurs can see it on display
if they visit a museum in Paris called the Musee D’Orsay.
Two men and a woman enjoy a picnic outside.
The woman certainly didn’t have anything to hide.
Three piece suits are worn by each male.
However, completely naked is the female.
That is one of the paintings any visitor will find.
I wonder what was going on in the artist’s mind?
