 Scotland on Sunday - Spectrum - Gallery walk
Degas’s aim was somehow to fuse this new sense of truth with the lessons of the old masters to portray with accuracy and grace what Baudelaire had summed up as "the heroism of modern life".
The effect is to persuade us that, despite the picture’s lack of illusionism, we are somehow close to the essence of Duranty and can, with him, experience the different sensations of touch and light which animate the surface of his room.
Yet for all its immediacy and its undoubted importance in the impressionist canon, for Degas Duranty’s portrait was essentially a failure and the ultimate proof that the art which he sought, which would create a physiognomy which could in itself encapsulate modern life, could never be.

A champion of Realism and Impressionism, and a close friend of Degas, Manet, Courbet whom he met through Emile Zola, Duranty was the subject of a great portrait by Degas (Portrait de M. Duranty, 1879).

23 February 1870: Édouard Manet and Louis Edmond Duranty; Duranty, an art critic and friend of Manet, had written only the briefest of commentary on two works of art that Manet had entered for exhibition.
Duranty's demands for an apology were refused and so the men fought a duel with swords in the forest of Saint-Germain three days later on the 23rd.

Duranty megismerkedett Manet-val, s rövidesen nagy barátság alakult ki a két férfi között.
A csoport negyedik kiállítása alkalmából írt cikkében Duranty dicsőíti a kiállító művészeket, különösen Monet-t és Pissarrót, de Degas-t és baráti körét is.
„Duranty metszetei és könyvei között látható, asztala előtt ülve, csípős és gúnyos tekintete, átható és fürkésző arckifejezése, nevetséges angol csiptetője, kis, száraz nevetése a pipaszáron keresztül mindig felmerül előttem, ha ezt a képet látom, amely oly jól adja vissza e különös krónikás jellemét.”

 Art of Gene Snyder
These five writers are: Edmond Duranty, Theodore Duret, Louis Leroy, Jules Laforgue, and Diego Martelli.
Of these five, I believe Edmond Duranty's article, The New Painting: Concerning the Group of Artists Exhibiting at the Durand-Ruel Galleries (1876), defended the Impressionists the most.
The Romantic artist, in his studies of light, was only familiar with the orange colored strip of sun setting beneath dark hills, or the white impasto, tinged with either chrome yellow or rose lake, which he threw over the bituminous opacities of his forest floors.

 Manet
In my opinion, Edouard Manet was the greatest European painter in the interval between Jacques Louis David (1748-1825) and Pablo Picasso (1881-1973).
The group, consisting mostly of major writers and painters, usually gathered at the cafe on Sundays and Thursdays.
Besides Manet, the group regularly included Henri Fantin-Latour, Émile Zola, Frédéric Bazille, Louis Edmond Duranty, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley.

Centered on Édouard Manet, the group gathered at the café usually on Sundays and Thursdays.
Émile Zola, Frédéric Bazille, Louis Edmond Duranty, Henri Fantin-Latour, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley regularly joined in the discussions.
Conversations were often heated and on one evening in February 1870, so heated that Manet, insulted by a review that Duranty wrote, shot Duranty in a duel.

 Eugene Louis Boudin - Impressions of the Sea - Rehs Galleries, Inc.
In 1849 he was recruited to assist the sculptor Louis Rochet on a journey to raise lottery funds that would benefit artists.
Boudin’s successes at the Salon and his interactions with Durand-Ruel made the 1880s the moment of large-scale arrival — 1881 was the year that “marked the beginning of an ‘official’ interest in Boudin,” as he recounted in his journal.
This artist’s impulsive intelligence and initiative has never, since he began to exhibit, won him any recompense: this is a glaring injustice that one must never cease to publicize.

 NATURALISM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
They supported the Impressionists, and Zola was an apologist of Manet and Cezanne, however in 1896 Zola's "Nouvelle Campagne" in Figaro praised academic painters who were closer to the Naturalist ideal: Alfred Stevens, Philippe Roll, and Detaille.
Critics such as Louis Edmond Duranty (La Nouvelle Peinture 1876) and Huysmans (L'Art Moderne 1883) discussed the need, often lacking, to paint common, modern life.
Huysmans despised Courbet and was disappointed by Manet (whom Zola later found he did not understand either) and praised Jean-Francois Raffaelli, Gustave Caillebotte, Albert Bartholome, Jean-Louis Forain, Henri Fantin-Latour, and above all Edgar Degas.
