1855
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Voila pourtant ce qu'on est convenu d'appeler ... is a 1855 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Daumier’s lithograph shows two hunters side by side with a scruffy dog under a cloudy sky. One man scratches his head, the other checks his pocket watch. The caption reads like a joke about the real feelings behind hunting. Daumier made over 4,000 lithographs in his life, many poking fun at everyday life. His sharp lines catch small details—the dog’s shaggy fur, the hunters’ worn boots. See how he balances humor and realism. Look up 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.
