1853
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Tiens, mon ami, voici M. Chapoulard ... is a 1853 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows three men in suits. One man in the middle points at another, who seems surprised. Their clothes look stiff and formal. Daumier loved drawing people this way. He caught personality in small details like posture and facial expressions without much background. See how he uses light ink on stone to make bold lines? Look up lithography for the full trick.
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.
