1865
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Voyons, voyons ... pas tant d'empressement ... is a 1865 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This 1860s lithograph shows a crowd shoving to board an omnibus. A man in a top hat tumbles forward. Others push from behind, faces twisted in frustration. Daumier loved mocking Paris crowds. He used lithography to spread jokes fast—cheap prints sold on streets. His lines are rough, like quick jabs. Check out Daumier, Honoré for 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.
