1852
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Vous allez bien aujourd'hui, M'sieu Chapoulard? ... is a 1852 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two older people standing outside a shabby building. The man on the left wears a long coat and a hat, leaning on a cane. The woman on the right holds a broom and looks frustrated, peering through a cracked door. The walls are rough, and the street looks wet. The text below hints at a funny argument between neighbors—one person is complaining about how the other won’t talk to them directly. The drawing feels quick and messy, like it was made fast. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like Daumier made prints like this.
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.
