1864
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ou allez-vous donc? is a 1864 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Honoré Daumier’s lithograph shows two men and a dog in a rocky field. One man carries a rifle. The other waves his arms wildly. The dog looks calm in the chaos. Daumier made this in 1864. He used lithography, a printing trick with greasy ink. It let him exaggerate faces and gestures for laughs. See it up close at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
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.
