Manet
Don't miss it ... detail from Edouard Manet's Music in the Tuileries Gardens, 1862

Exhibition of the week – Manet: Portraying Life

It's your last chance to see this important exhibition of a truly great artist. Manet's evasive, uncertain brushstrokes and jarringly beautiful colours make him a compelling, cool observer – the embodiment of modern attitude. He never ages. He never gets dull.
Royal Academy, London W1J until 14 April

Other exhibitions this week

Christopher Bucklow
This intensely imaginative painter is shown on video talking about his art, among his own paintings in an exhibition that dramatises what we talk about when we talk about painting.
Black Swan Arts, Somerset BA11 until 20 April

Robyn Woolston
Nine massive balls of discarded plastic are installed in this great Victorian art gallery in a work about waste, entropy and the planet's future.
Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool until 23 June

The House of Annie Lennox

Hey, pop history doesn't end with Bowie. Annie Lennox herself has curated this exhibition about, um, herself – a delve into music, fashion and the cultural legacy of the 1980s.
Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh until 30 June

A Parliament of Lines
This survey of contemporary drawing features such quirky sketchers as Charles Avery, David Shrigley and Layla Curtis.
Pier Art Centre, Stromness, Orkney until 8 June

Masterpiece of the week

Rubens Rubens' The Rainbow Landscape

Peter Paul Rubens, The Rainbow Landscape, c1636
