1845
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
J'vous dis que vous avez dérangé la limite ... is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two men in a heated argument. The man on the right leans in, jabbing his stick at the other. The second man flinches, hands up in protest. Daumier used bold lines to make the anger feel real. At the time, many artists ignored everyday fights like this. He made it the whole focus. Look up Daumier, Honoré for more sharp, funny scenes like this.
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.
