Pour l'homme de demain is a 1916 by Jean-Louis Forain, depicting World War I, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a crowd of well-dressed people in a park. Men wear top hats. Women carry umbrellas. The artist used uneven ink to make some lines darker and softer. This uneven ink is called *à la poupée*. It means ink was dabbed on the stone in patches. The effect looks quick and alive. Look up the artist Forain, Jean-Louis next.
Jean-Louis Forain (French pronunciation: ; 23 October 1852 – 11 July 1931) was a French Impressionist painter and printmaker, working in media including oils, watercolour, pastel, etching and lithograph.
