1848
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Dire que je n'ai pas pu tirer ... is a 1848 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men sitting on rocks, wearing hunting clothes. They look different, one is serious and the other is not. The serious one looks upset, while the other seems happy. The men's expressions tell us about their personalities. The artist drew them to show how people can be different. This lithograph is an example of work by an artist like Daumier, Honoré, who used 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.
