From the collection of National Gallery of Art
A.O. Glais-Bizoin is a 1849 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man in a dark suit with a big head and prominent cheekbones. He looks funny because his features are exaggerated. The artist used this style to make a point about the people in his time, and this kind of satire was common in his work. To learn more about this style of art, look up the technique: lithography.
Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
