EDITORS COMMENTS
(Enter the Sea Without Fear... 1856) is a captivating hand-colored lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This masterpiece is taken from Daumier's collection "Croquis aquatiques" (Aquatic Sketches), specifically no. 2. The image depicts a humorous scene of a husband and wife at the beach. The husband, Monsieur Potard, is shown confidently entering the sea, seemingly unfazed by the potential dangers lurking beneath the surface. His wife, Madame Potard, remains on the shore, urging him to be cautious. She implores him to heed the words of Buffon, a famous naturalist, who wrote about the terrifying creatures that inhabit the ocean - sharks and lobsters. Despite her warnings, the husband continues to wade into the water, paddling carefree in his bathing costume. The wife, dressed in a Victorian-era swimsuit, looks on with a mixture of concern and amusement. The scene is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details, making it a delightful example of Daumier's satirical and parodic style. This lithograph is a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century leisure activities and the role of art in capturing the humor and nuances of everyday life. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this precious piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the wit and talent of Honore Daumier. The image is a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place, inviting us to reflect on the human condition and the enduring themes of love, marriage, and the allure of the sea. Whether you're a fan of Daumier, French art, or simply looking for a delightful addition to your home or office, "Entrez donc dans la mer sans crainte... 1856" is a wonderful choice.
