Olympia by Édouard Manet, painted in 1863, depicting a courtesan gazing at her viewer. "Aux yeux memes de Manet la fabrication s'effacait. L'Olympia tout entiere se distingue mal d'un crime ou d'un spectacle de la morte . . . Tout en elle glisse a l'indifference de la beaute" --Manet (1955) by Georges Bataille
