1857
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ce qui nous prouve comme quoi il est ... inutile ... is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a group of people in a theater, all looking at the central figure in a dark coat. This scene is interesting because it gives us a glimpse into what social gatherings might have looked like back then. The blurred audience in the background adds to the lively atmosphere. To learn more about the process used to create this image, look into 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.
