Edouard Manet's paintings of working-class women reflect the dramatic social changes which occurred in Paris during the late nineteenth century. This thesis examines Manet's paintings which represent some of the sites of femininity within modern Paris: the home and garden, the prostitute's bedroom, and the new public sphere of the boulevards and cafes. With references to contemporary writings and social histories, the result of this study is a more profound understanding of how Modernism affected women's lives and the way in which they were represented in art.

Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt had unique visions of the Paris Opera House. Thus each artist perceived and portrayed the pageant of fashionable contemporary life at the Opera from diverse perspectives. Manet rendered a singular image of this world, that of a masked ball, which elicits an extraordinary insight into the manners and mores of an era. The focus by Degas on the dancers on stage invites a penetrating look into the spectacle of the performance from exceptional viewpoints. Mary Cassatt's depictions, exclusively of the female spectators in the audience, intimate a serious reflection of her earnest feminist attitudes. / From the costumed revellers in the foyer, to the brilliant presentation on stage to the elegant spectators in the loges, these images inspired by the Opera endure as remarkably distinctive.

Toute une théorie classique de l’art a défini la composition picturale en prenant ses concepts à la tradition rhétorique. Ainsi le travail du peintre rassemble-t-il à ses yeux, pour commencer, deux opérations dont Cicéron avait déjà en son temps donné les noms pour l'art du discours : l’invention, qui sélectionne au sein d’une sorte de réserve les éléments convenant au sujet à présenter, puis la disposition, qui se charge d’organiser avantageusement ces éléments selon les règles d’une économie. Sous le nom de «montage», une large part de la fabrique artistique contemporaine, qu’il s’agisse de photographie, de cinéma ou de littérature, reconduit de fait aujourd’hui ces principes de procédure. Ils ne sont pourtant pas indépassables. Penser le montage sans s’expliquer avec la notion classique de composition, c’est finalement oublier ce qui a, un temps, animé l’art qu’on peut dire «moderne». Prenant en compte cette situation, étudiant des œuvres qui se sont effectuées en dépit de la méthode défendue par les classiques, cette thèse entend critiquer le désir de maîtriser des objets sous l’autorité d’une idée à transmettre et soutient la notion d’un montage qui, se soustrayant à l’«édifice» (Ishaghpour) ou au «texte» (Rancière), ne se trouve pas par eux modéré dans son opération. Il est en conséquence possible d’entendre les concepts d’invention et de disposition autrement que les classiques ou, en d’autres termes, d’en changer le mode. Cela se fait par glissements notionnels successifs, parmi lesquels celui de l’apparence à l’aspect, de la maîtrise à l’exercice, de l’application à la découverte, etc. On repère ainsi des enjeux de pensée et de conduite qui dépassent finalement le seul motif du montage. / An entire classical theory of art has defined pictorial composition by taking its concepts from the rhetorical tradition. Thus the work of the painter brings together, to his eyes, two activities that Cicero, in his time, had already given the names for the art of discussion: invention, which selects from a kind of inventory the appropriate elements for the subject to present, and then the disposition, which is responsible for the favorable organization of these elements according to the rules of an economy. Today, under the name "montage", a large part of the contemporary artistic fabric, whether it be photography, cinema or literature, follows these procedural principles. They are not, however, unsurpassable. To think of montage without taking into consideration the classical notion of composition is, finally, to forget what at one time animated the art that we can call modern. Taking into account this situation and studying works of art that have been done in spite of the methods defended by the classics, this thesis intends to critique the desire to master objects under the authority of an idea to transmit and support the notion of a montage that, subtracting from the "edifice" (Ishaghpour), or from the "text" (Rancière), does not find itself moderated by them in its operation. It is consequently possible to understand the concepts of invention and disposition using methods other than those of the classics or, in other words, to change the way we understand them. This is done by successive shifts of notions, including from the appearance to the aspect, from the mastery to the practice or from the application to the discovery, and so forth. We thus encounter what is at stake in the thought and conduct, which finally goes beyond the only motive of montage.
