1844
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Je te dis que je l'ai fait partir is a 1844 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Daumier’s lithograph shows two men wrestling on the floor with two dogs jumping around them. The lines are wild and rough, like the fight itself. Daumier used this print to mock politics. He drew scenes like this to show how people get out of control when power takes over. Look up another artist who did the same thing: 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.
