From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Eh! Bien, voisin ... pourquoi avez-vous poussé ... is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men talking to each other from their windows. They're dressed simply, and the background shows detailed architecture. The way they interact says a lot about everyday life in the city. The men's conversation seems casual, and their body language is relaxed. This scene gives us a glimpse into urban life during that time. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré to see more scenes 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.
