EDITORS COMMENTS
Honore Daumier's "Eleves de sixieme voulant jouer aux rhetoriciens" (Sixth Graders Wanting to Play Rhetoricians), created in the 19th century, captures a humorous and satirical scene of young boys engaged in a serious activity beyond their years. The black and white lithograph depicts a group of sixth-grade students huddled together, attempting to stage a rhetorical debate. With tobacco pipes clenched between their teeth and hands scribbling on slates, they exude an air of importance and maturity. Daumier's masterful use of caricature and parody is evident in the exaggerated features of the boys, their serious expressions, and the contrast between their youthful innocence and their adult endeavor. The scene is a commentary on the educational system of the time, poking fun at the idea of young children attempting to engage in adult debates and the use of tobacco as a symbol of sophistication. This antique print, with its rich history and cultural significance, is a must-see for anyone interested in the art of the 19th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is one of many esteemed art centers and galleries where this work can be found, allowing viewers to appreciate the wit and humor of Honore Daumier's depiction of a classic schoolroom scene.
