1850
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ratapoil et Casmajou is a 1850 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two men in suits facing off. Their bodies twist in profile. One wears a top hat. The other has a mean little smile. Daumier made this during France’s messy 1850s. He used lithography—ink on stone—to mock rich men who played politics. The sharp lines and big heads make the joke clear. Look up this artist next: 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.
