EDITORS COMMENTS
(Take that away...it is impossible to work with such a din), painted by Honore Daumier in 1844, captures a moment of frustration and exasperation in the life of a novelist-mother. The scene depicts a woman, dressed in the fashion of the time, holding a screaming baby and addressing her husband, Monsieur Cabassol. The chaotic environment around them is filled with the noise and chaos of urban life, and the woman's plea for peace and quiet is met with the demand for a new set of baby bottles. This satirical print is a commentary on the societal expectations of women during the 19th century, particularly those who dared to pursue intellectual pursuits beyond the realm of housework and childcare. The woman in the painting is depicted as a "bluestocking," a term used to deride women who were educated and interested in literature and the arts. The implication is that such women were mannish and ugly, and their intellectual output was just as objectionable as their looks. The print is part of a series called "Les Bas-bleus," which was a satirical publication that targeted women who defied societal norms and pursued their own interests. The print serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by women in the past who sought to make their mark in a world that often saw them as second-class citizens. Despite the obstacles, the woman in the painting stands her ground, demanding respect and the space to pursue her creative passions. The print is a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of women throughout history, and the importance of continuing to challenge societal expectations and stereotypes.
