EDITORS COMMENTS
(Ah! it's fresh...ah! it's fresh...but come here, waiter, definitely it's fresh!) is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1846. This intriguing piece is part of Daumier's collection "Les Bons bourgeois" (The Good Bourgeois), and it showcases a humorous scene of a man and a waiter examining a roast chicken at a dining table. Daumier masterfully captures the essence of the 19th century French dining experience with this satirical piece. The black and white image depicts a well-dressed man, with a serious expression, leaning over a dining table, his nose almost touching the chicken. A waiter, also in formal attire, stands behind him, holding a platter with the freshly cooked poultry. The man's wife, a woman with an amused expression, looks on from the background. The title of the piece, "Ah! il est frais...ah! il est frais...," reflects the man's excitement and confidence in the freshness of the roast chicken. The repetition of the phrase adds to the playful and humorous tone of the artwork. The satire lies in the exaggerated attention given to the freshness of the food, highlighting the bourgeoisie's obsession with the finer things in life. This lithograph is a testament to Daumier's exceptional talent in capturing the nuances of everyday life and human behavior. The use of strong contrasts in the black and white image adds depth and texture, making it a visually striking piece. The image is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the timeless nature of human experiences. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is proud to house this masterpiece in its extensive collection of heritage art. The piece is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of France and the enduring influence of Honore Daumier on the art world.
