EDITORS COMMENTS
("We won't go, won't leave!"), a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, painted in 1847, offers a humorous glimpse into the tenacity of a determined angler and the patience of his long-suffering wife. The scene unfolds on a rainy riverbank, where the husband, donned in a top hat and a raincoat, is intently focused on his fishing rod, while his wife, clad in a bonnet and a colorful dress, stands nearby, holding an umbrella and looking increasingly fed up. Daumier's masterful use of contrast in this black and white lithograph highlights the stark difference between the couple's attitudes. The husband, with a hopeful expression, is convinced that "just half an hour more" will yield a bite, while his wife, with a resigned look, implores, "Can't we go yet?" The couple's apparel, reminiscent of the fashion of the nineteenth century, adds to the authenticity of the scene. This print, titled "Nous ne partirons donc pas!" and numbered 73 in the series "Les Bons bourgeois," is a testament to the enduring themes of family, leisure, and the pursuit of happiness. The satirical tone and the humorous depiction of a common situation make it a beloved piece of art and a fascinating window into the past. This lithograph, a part of the rich artistic heritage of France, is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The print's timeless appeal and its ability to evoke a sense of humor and nostalgia make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the human condition, or the simple joys of a day out by the river.
