High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Bar at the Folies-Bergere (French: Un bar aux Folies Bergere), painted and exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1882, was the last major work by French painter Edouard Manet. It depicts a scene in the Folies Bergere nightclub in Paris. The painting is filled with contemporaneous details specific to the Folies-Bergere. The distant pair of green feet in the upper left-hand corner belong to a trapeze artist, who is performing above the restaurant's patrons. The beer which is depicted, Bass Pale Ale (noted by the red triangle on the label), would have catered not to the tastes of Parisians, but to those of English tourists, suggesting a British clientele. Manet has signed his name on the label of the bottle at the bottom left, combining the centuries-old practice of self-promotion in art with something more modern, bordering on the product placement concept of the late twentieth century. One interpretation of the painting has been that far from only being a seller of the wares shown on the counter, the woman is herself one of the wares for sale; conveying undertones of prostitution. The man in the background may be a potential client.
