From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mon vieux, ta peinture manque de chaleur ... is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two figures in a cold winter landscape, one painting and the other standing behind. The artist in the painting is sitting, trying to work, while his companion looks on. This scene is created using a method called lithography, a technique where the artist draws on stone to make prints, similar to those found in the work of artist: 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.
