1857
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ah! Monsieur Gobinet, dans quel temps ... is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Two men chat on a Paris street. Their hats and coats look rumpled, like they’ve been talking a while. Daumier draws them with scratchy black lines that catch every wrinkle. The artist loved to poke at society through small, funny scenes like this. His lithographs often mocked stuffy officials and everyday life. This one shows two ordinary guys lost in their own quiet world. Check out more lithographs by Daumier, Honoré.
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.
