From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Une boisson qui ne monte jamais à tête is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two scenes in a Paris café. In the top half, two men in suits sit at a table with drinks. Below, a man holds a glass in a crowded room. Daumier made fun of Paris life. He often showed people drinking or arguing in cafés. This one pokes at how people act when they think no one’s watching. Look up Daumier, Honoré next.
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.
