ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Les bourgeois ... is a 1858 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two men talking in a butcher's shop. The scene is interesting because of the way the light and dark areas are used to create a sense of depth. This technique also highlights the contrast between the bloody meat and the men's calm conversation. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré to see more of his unique perspectives.
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.
