after Edouard Manet

Julia Holden has recreated five still life paintings by Manet by modelling asparagus, apples, plums and mandarins in clay, then painting the clay, the table surface and the backgrounds to match Manet’s colours. She then photographed the results and has printed them as unique archival pigment prints on canvas, the same size as the original paintings by Manet. The frames are a part of the work.
