1848
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ça pince, M'sieu Galimard, ça pince! ... is a 1848 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two men outdoors under a bare tree. One man, in a long coat and top hat, stands stiff and proud. The second man, in a shabby coat, sits slouched with a worried look. It’s a sharp comment on class in 1848 France. The standing man’s polished look contrasts with the seated man’s worn clothes. Daumier used lithography to make bold, fast lines that feel real and urgent. Look up Daumier, Honoré to see more like this.
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.
