EDITORS COMMENTS
Une station infiniment trop prolongée" (An Infinitely Long Station), a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, painted in the 19th century, offers a humorous and insightful commentary on the frustrations of train travel during that era. The monochrome image, with its striking contrasts of grey and black, depicts a crowded railway station platform, where passengers of all ages and social classes are huddled together, seeking shelter from the bad weather. The delay in their journey is evident in their expressions of impatience and exasperation. Daumier masterfully employs caricature and parody to illustrate the concept of a delayed or postponed railway journey. The artist's use of lettering and bold lines adds to the cartoonish effect, with the words "Retard" (Delay) and "Prolongement" (Extension) prominently displayed on the station sign. The figures in the print are depicted with exaggerated features, adding to the humor and satire. The image is a testament to the universal experience of waiting and the inconvenience it brings. It also serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and culture of 19th century France. This historic work of art, with its rich heritage and enduring appeal, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, or the history of transportation. This lithograph, "Une station infiniment trop prolongée," is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, and is a reminder of the wit and humor that can be found even in the most mundane and frustrating of situations. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is proud to exhibit this rare and captivating work by Honore Daumier, a true master of the art world.
