1865
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Cette année encore des vénus ... is a 1865 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a crowded art gallery. Two women talk in the front. Behind them hangs a Venus painting. Daumier pokes fun at how people act around art. The women seem bored by the Venus. Others around them stare or chat. It’s done in lithography—a printing method using greasy crayons. See this for yourself at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
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.
