HONORE DAUMIER R.E., Marseilles 1808 – 1879 Valmondois. La Visite à l’Atelier. Original lithograph, 1857.

 

HONORE DAUMIER R.E.
Marseilles 1808 – 1879 Valmondois

Between 1833 and 1875 Daumier contributed over 3,900 lithographs to the daily newspaper, Le Charivari, in which page 3 was always an original lithographic or wood engraved image.

Lithographic stones were delivered weekly to Daumier. He usually numbered the stones for reference but not consistently and at a later date, after publication, the images and titles on the stones were erased and the stones cleaned for re-use.

Having got into trouble for his early political cartoons, in later years Daumier focussed his satires on social commentary – the Comédie humaine.

La Visite à l’Atelier - Quel coloris ! – Quel dessin ! – C’est du Van Dyke ! – C’est du Rubens ! – C’est merveilleux ! – C’est épatan ! …
(L’Artiste se félicite d’avoir consulté des personnes ayant autant de gout, et huit jours après son tableau est refusé par le jury d’admission.)
After receiving such praise with comparison to Rubens and van Dyke, the artist’s painting was refused by the Salon a week later.
