From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mais pis que j'vous dis qu'c'est des amis ... is a 1845 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a chaotic street scene with people arguing and one person on the ground. The people in the background are reacting to what's happening. This scene shows how people interact in a busy city, and that's what makes it interesting - it's like a snapshot of everyday life. To learn more about this style of printmaking, look at 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.
