1852
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Un parisien resté fidèle ... is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two men in a crowded theater, watching a sketched woman on stage. Their faces look silly and exaggerated, like in a cartoon. The woman on stage is tiny and blurry, but the men’s big noses and grumpy looks steal the show. Daumier used this simple scene to mock how people act in theaters. He loved poking fun at society in his art. Check out how Daumier did this with 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.
