1856
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Impressions de vendages is a 1856 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows four jolly workers stomping grapes in a wooden tub. Their faces are exaggerated and comic text floats above them. A dog watches from the side, adding to the playful chaos. Daumier often mocked society in his art. Here he pokes fun at rural labor with humor, not anger. The thick black lines make the scene feel lively and rough. Want to see more like this? Look up Daumier, Honoré.
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.
