1840
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Un homme sans asile ... is a 1840 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a solitary man in full-body profile, with a crumpled hat and pronounced facial features. This man is set against a textured background that suggests heavy rainfall. The artist used simple lines and shading to create a sense of depth and mood. The man's isolation is emphasized by the empty space around him. The use of simple yet effective techniques in this work is similar to those used by the artist: 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.
