Must Be Why I Like It

Apparently, the museum hosting Manet’s A Bar at the Folies-Bergère has slapped a trigger warning on it:

The Courtauld Gallery has been criticised for introducing a ‘woke’ new label on the Manet masterpiece A Bar at the Folies-Bergère. It warns viewers of the ‘unsettling’ presence of a man

As I mentioned when I read a book on Manet, this is my favorite Manet painting.

Also, I think “The unsettling presence of a man” is going to be my slug/lede on my resume and LinkedIn profile from now on.
