1865
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Voisin, êtres-vous comme moi? ... is a 1865 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows two men in winter coats standing in a snowy field. One man looks straight at us, the other gazes away. Their faces are drawn with quick, scratchy lines. Daumier often used this style to mock people’s habits and class. Here, the contrast between the two men hints at different lives and choices. The rough lines make their faces stand out like cartoons. Try looking up Daumier, Honoré to see more of his sharp, funny prints.
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.
