1850
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Je vous dis que ... il nous faut M. Molé ... is a 1850 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two men talking outside. One man waves his arms while the other listens with crossed arms. The greenery frames them like a stage. Daumier made this during a time when lithographs spread news and jokes fast. The bold lines show how he caught people’s moods with simple shapes. If you like how the lines tell the story, 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.
