(Breakfast on the Grass), depicting the day that led to the four subjects of the original painting meeting for their luncheon. Mickalene Thomas has produced Le déjeuner sur l'herbe: les trois femmes noires (2010). The painting is both a critique of and reference to Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe. Thomas' piece portrays three bold, black women adorned with rich colors, patterned clothing, and radiant Afro-styled hair; the women's positioning and posing is reminiscent of the subjects of Manet's piece, but the gazes of all three women are fixed on the viewer. Thomas created the painting, her largest piece at the time, in 2010 after being commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. Gilbert Shelton parodied it for the cover of Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers comic #3.
