Ou ça bourgeois? C'est-il à l'heure ou...,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Where is the bourgeoisie? Is it the hour yet?" is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in the 19th century. This monochrome masterpiece, a testament to the rich heritage of art and culture, is a brilliant example of Daumier's satirical and caricatured style. The image depicts a coachman, dressed in traditional attire, standing next to his horse-drawn carriage, with a thoughtful expression on his face. The title of the work, written in elegant lettering at the bottom, adds a layer of intrigue to the scene. The greyscale palette, characteristic of the era, adds to the overall mood of the print, which seems to suggest a sense of anticipation or even impatience. The title of the work raises questions about the bourgeoisie, a term used to describe the middle class in 19th century France. Daumier's use of satire and caricature invites viewers to ponder the role and status of the bourgeoisie in society, as well as the passing of time and the role of transportation in shaping the world around us. This work of art, with its intriguing title and thought-provoking imagery, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, satire, and the social commentary of the 19th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is proud to exhibit this rare and significant piece, which continues to captivate and inspire audiences today.
