( THE PAINTER'S STUDIO, GUSTAVE COURBET, CREATED IN ORNANS, FRANCE IN 1855)
Courbet's "The Painter's Studio" exerted a profound impact on so many progressive painters. Even though it was created in the form of a classical tableau, it deals with contemporary issues, such as the changing relationship between town and country, the need for a new understanding between the artist and the working environment of ordinary men and women, and the role and value of art within modern political, social and cultural ideas. The figures in the painting are representations of various influences on Courbet's artistic life
DESCRIBED BY COURBET AS "A REAL ALLEGORY SUMMING UP SEVEN YEARS OF MY ARTISTIC AND MORAL LIFE."
