1851
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ma femme, t'as tort de me blamer ... is a 1851 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man sitting calm at a table, arms crossed. A woman stands stiff beside him. Her face is tight. His face is loose. They don’t touch. Daumier made this with a greasy crayon on stone. The stone held ink where he drew. Then he pressed paper to it. That’s lithography. It lets artists copy drawings fast. This kind of print lets us see his sharp eye for daily fights. For more like it, check 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.
