Daumier went almost blind in 1873 which put paid to his art. A Box at the Theatre (c1865), Don Quixote Reading (c1865), Orchestra Stalls (c1865) & Lunch in the Country (1868). His work is immensely enjoyable.

If one theme united his artwork it is the idea of the struggle. Daumier’s leitmotif was always the fight for justice. The Watering Place (c1855), Two Lawyers (c1855), Orchestra Seat (c1856) & The Haulier of a Boat (c1856)

A notable work of his was Rue Transnonain (1834) - he intended the profits from it to support the freedom of the press. The police discovered a copy & set about confiscating every available print. Such persecution was Daumier’s lot.

Thread: Honoré-Victorin Daumier (1808-79) died on this day. He is considered the greatest caricaturist in history (by me 😉) & he even went to gaol for lampooning the French king. His painting style employs an impressionist approach combined with acute observation.

I’m spending this wintry weekend studying and writing a paper on Honoré Daumier’s attack of the July Monarchy via the use of political cartoons and caricatures.

Vincent’s biography “Daumier and His World” is an exceptionally well-written and engaging read for anyone interested
