Édouard Manet
Sur la plage (1873) - Musée d’Orsay, Paris
Portrait of Suzanne Leenhoff and Eugène Manet
Suzanne Leenhoff joined the Manet household as a piano instructor to the painter’s brother, Eugène. Leenhoff was a Dutch-born piano teacher of Édouard’s age with whom he had been romantically involved for approximately ten years. She also may have been Manet’s father mistress. In 1852, Leenhoff gave birth, out of wedlock, to a son, Léon Koella Leenhoff, whose father may have been either of the Manets. After the death of his father in 1862, Édouard married Suzanne in 1863.

Artist Leandro Erlich created an incredible installation that simulates the inside of a swimming pool at 21^st Century Museum of Art at Kanazawa Japan. Museum goers enter a space with aquamarine walls and a ceiling made of a layer of water suspended over transparent glass. The sun shines through, and creates amazing liquid shadows.
