1864
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le terrible régisseur is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a man and a woman in a theater, talking. The man is in charge, looking strict. He's the director, and you can tell he's used to getting his way. This scene is interesting because it gives us a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of a theater. You can learn more about this style by looking 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.
