1847
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Entrez donc, monsieur... ne vous gênez pas... is a 1847 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A man in a long coat and hat is walking fast, carrying a big accordion under his arm. His face looks tired but focused. Behind him, three kids are playing with a hat and a broomstick in the street, while buildings loom in the background. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and energy. This style fits the busy, chaotic feel of city life. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like Daumier made prints 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.
