1859
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ils m'ont refusé ca ... is a 1859 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man in a wide-brimmed hat holding a candle in the foreground. He's the focus of the picture, while a second figure in the background is less clear. The artist used simple shades to create a sense of depth, which is interesting because it makes you wonder about the story behind the scene. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: lithography.
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.
