gestures and expressions make no obvious sense, and yet the directness of the woman's gaze invites usrticipate in this equivocal situation. undeterred by the reception of the dejeuner sur l'herbe, manet submitted olympia to the salon in 1865. it was accepted, but it provoked great derision. the model was thought hideous and her surroundings degraded. olympia with her black servant was identified by some critics as a parisian prostitute. the treatment of the painting also shocked the viewers. the paint is applied with a calculated simplicity, and the lighting is harsh and frontal, leaving a ribbon of dark shadow round her body. her presence is quite at odds with the finesse of academic painting. olympia exposes the conventions which structured the display of sexuality in the nudes which were successful at the salon, nudes such as cabanel's birth of venus, which won the medal of honor in 1863. violating the principle that nudes in art must be remote and passive, this modern venus challenges the viewer to respond to her gaze. olympia is silenced but not rendered powerless by her position

religion, science, and morality are shaken, "when the external supports threaten to collapse, "then man's gazeurns away from the outside world toward himself." when the great war ended in november 1918, there can have been few people who did not hope that the terrible losses and suffering which it had brought might be somehow redeemed in a happier postwar world with more just societies, and where nations might live, perhaps, even in harmony with each other. but in fact, the history of the 20 years in between the two world wars-- the subject of this program-- is one of increasing division and disillusionment in western culture. the advances made toward more egalitarian social order were countered by economic collapse in europe, by civil wars, and by the growing specter of fascism. the utopian hopes born of the tragedies of the first war dissolved eventually in totalitarian nightmare. in the story of the art of the west, the legacy of the great war is also a troubled one. this is a picture of hell, a vision of grotesque dead men, a swarm of possessed human beasts sailing downhill into destructio
