Manet Contemporary is a term used to describe the work of two French Impressionist painters, Edgar Degas and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Both artists were part of the same artistic movement, which focused on capturing the momentary effects of light and color in their paintings. Degas was known for his pastel drawings and oil paintings of ballet dancers, while Renoir was known for his vibrant landscapes and portraits. Together, they helped to define the Impressionist style of painting.
