I need some help with these art terms. Could someone rephrase them for me, please? Thanks!

Luncheon on the Grass

Dislocated perspective
Realistic subject matter
The lack of modelling of forms
'There is very little modellling''

The context

Manet influenced modern painting not only by his use of realistic subject matter but also by his challenge to the three-dimensional perspectivalism established in Renaissance painting. Manet painted figures with a flatness derived partly from Japanese art and resembling (as Gustave Courbet commented) the flatness of the king or queen on a playing card.
The dislocated perspective gives the painting an odd quality. The woman in the backgroundis far too large.
The loose brushwork and lack of modelling of forms was a radical departure from academicnorms. The work was accused of being unfinished and crude. As in real outdoor light, there is very little modelling to the form.
