Édouard Manet's Olympia, a controversial painting and ahead of its time. It not only shows us Manet's intention to break with the traditional schemes of painting but also a vanguardist vision of society, among them, the fact of showing the nudity of a woman in an artistic work, the power relations between classes and the freedom of a woman to defend her style and way of life.
Édouard Manet was undoubtedly an NSFW artist, ahead of his time, a genius who was able to capture the changes experienced by the society of his time.
"When our artists give us Venuses, they correct nature, they lie. Édouard Manet asked himself why lie, why not tell the truth; he introduced us to Olympia, this fille of our time, whom you meet on the sidewalks". Émile Zola
