From the collection of National Gallery of Art
J'aimerais autant voir un ouragan ... is a 1857 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man standing in a garden, looking at a fancy dress on a stand. The dress is the focus, but the garden around it is also detailed. This lithograph is interesting because it comments on social norms of the time, showing how people viewed fashion and nature. To learn more about this kind of print, look 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.
