ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Faut pas s'plaindre de c'temps-la... is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Two men stand outside under a curtain of rain. One holds an umbrella, the other stands with his hands in his pockets. They’re dressed in old-fashioned coats and hats, looking tired. Behind them, a fence and some bushes soak in the downpour. The artist made this using a scratchy, sketchy style—like a quick drawing. It’s not smooth like a painting but sharp, almost like a print. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like this made images with stone and ink.
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.
