1850
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Fête du 4 Mai is a 1850 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see people arranging flowers in front of a statue. They're caricatured, with big heads and funny faces. This is interesting because the artist is poking fun at how people act in formal situations. The people in the picture are dressed up and trying to look important. But the artist is showing that they're not as serious as they seem. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré to see more of this style.
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.
