1852
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Nouvelle mode anglaise is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see two scenes split by a line. The top shows three men sharing one drink through straws, noses almost touching. The bottom shows two men drinking alone, no eye contact. Daumier made this as a lithograph. That’s a print made on stone with greasy ink—he could draw fast, capture a joke in one go. Look up Daumier, Honoré next. His cartoons still make people laugh today.
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.
