ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Faut pas vous désoler comme ca ... is a 1853 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two comical figures carrying an oversized grape on a stretcher. They're covered with a blanket, and the whole scene looks pretty absurd. The cartoonish style and soft lines add to the humor. The scene is funny, but it also makes you think. The artist used simple lines to create a sense of movement and energy. This style was popular during that time, and it's still fun to look at today. 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.
