1844
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Je t'ai déjà défendu de m'appeler maitre... is a 1844 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Honoré Daumier shows a man in a dark coat pointing a finger. His mouth is open like he’s making a sharp point. The background is plain newsprint, not fancy paper. This is a lithograph. That’s a printing method where ink sticks to greasy marks on stone. Daumier used it to make quick, bold images for newspapers and magazines. They often mocked powerful people with humor. See this in person at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
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.
