1842
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Lolo!...veux-tu laisser la chaisse tranquille... is a 1842 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a lively scene with four figures in a fancy room. The people are reacting to a chair being pulled out from under someone. This kind of humor and social commentary is what makes Daumier's work interesting, as he often used everyday situations to make points about the people in them. 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.
