Duranty, Edmond (1833-80). Co-editor of the review Réalisme (1856-7) and militant spokesman for Realist doctrines. His novels—especially Le Malheur d'Henriette Gérard (1860) and La Cause du beau Guillaume (1862)—are interesting and individual works which go beyond the programmatic theory of Realism he propounded.
[Brian Rigby]
Louis Edmond Duranty (1833 – 1880) was a prolific novelist and art critic.
Duranty supported the realist cause and later the Impressionists. He was challenged to a duel in 1870 by Édouard Manet over an affront. A friend of Edgar Degas, he was a frequent visitor to the Café Guerbois. Also the author of The New Painting.
