1856
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Un directeur de n'importe quel theatre is a 1856 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, depicting Cummerbund, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a stern man standing at a theater entrance. He's poised, looking serious, and people are waiting outside. The artist used simple lines to draw this scene. The man's expression and posture suggest he's in charge. This was a common scene in theaters back then, with people waiting to enter. To learn more about this style, look into the technique: lithography.
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.
