EDITORS COMMENTS
(Inconvenient to leave), a captivating hand-coloured lithograph on wove paper created by the renowned French artists Honore Daumier and Edouard Bouvenne in 1846, offers a humorous and satirical glimpse into the daily life of the 19th century. The intriguing scene depicts a crowded railway station filled with men, each trying to board a train while reluctantly leaving their loved ones behind. The title of the work, "Inconvenient to leave," perfectly encapsulates the sentiment expressed in the image. Daumier, a master of caricature and satire, expertly captures the frustration and anxiety of the men as they jostle to secure their place on the train. The lettering on the train's side reads "Railway," a testament to the burgeoning transportation revolution that was transforming Europe. The hand-tinted colors add depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a visually striking work of art. Bouvenne's skillful hand-coloring further enhances the detail and texture of the lithograph, bringing the figures to life. The men's facial expressions and body language convey a range of emotions, from determination and excitement to sadness and resignation. The use of parody and exaggeration adds an element of humor to the scene, making it a delight for viewers. This historic work is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France and the 19th century. It is a fascinating depiction of a moment in time when the convenience of transportation came with its own inconveniences. Today, it is a cherished piece in the collections of many art centres and galleries, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight audiences.
