EDITORS COMMENTS
Honore Daumier's lithograph "Les Parisiens ayant trouve le moyen de circuler..." (Parisians have found a way of getting around on tarmacked boulevards during rainy weather) is a humorous and satirical commentary on the daily life of Parisians in the 19th century. The black and white image captures a scene of Parisian men and women, dressed in their finest attire, making their way through the rain-soaked streets using unconventional means of transportation. Daumier masterfully employs the use of caricature and parody to poke fun at the Parisians' resourcefulness in navigating the city during inclement weather. The men are depicted balancing precariously on stilts, while the women are shown wearing large hoop skirts that seem to drag in the water. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the Parisian people, who refused to let the rain dampen their spirits. Created in the 19th century, this lithograph is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. The intricacies of Daumier's lithographic technique are evident in the fine lines and details that bring the scene to life. The image is a conceptual exploration of the human condition, highlighting the absurdity and humor in everyday life. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is one of the many prestigious institutions that have recognized the significance of this work by Honore Daumier. The gallery's extensive collection of 19th-century art includes this masterpiece, which continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. Whether viewed as a commentary on the human spirit, a satirical take on Parisian life, or a beautiful example of 19th-century art, "Les Parisiens ayant trouve le moyen de circuler..." is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for art, history, and the absurdities of life.
