1865
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Musiciens jouant pendant douze heures ... is a 1865 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a boisterous band playing loud music at a festival. The musicians have big noses and wild hats. The crowd looks thrilled, clapping and laughing. Daumier uses humor to poke at how people act at parties. His lines are rough but full of life. It’s easy to see why this stands out. Check out more by the same 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.
