EDITORS COMMENTS
Voulez-vous de l'or...des diamants... (Do you want gold, silver, diamonds...), a captivating print by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, was first published in the satirical weekly Le Charivari on May 20, 1838. This masterpiece is part of the Robert Macaire series, featuring the infamous character of the same name, a swindler and confidence trickster. In this image, Daumier brilliantly captures the chaos and excitement of a crowd gathered around Macaire, who is passionately selling various goods and materials, from gold and diamonds to bitumen and galvanized iron, with the promise of a life-changing law imminently taking effect. The crowd, eager to secure their fortune before the law changes, are frantically reaching out to grab the tickets being offered by Macaire. The title "Baoud! Baoud! Baoud-bond-bond!", repeated throughout the print, translates to "Boom! Boom! Boom-bom-bom!", emphasizing the urgency and frenzy of the scene. Daumier's use of bold lines, dynamic compositions, and intricate details showcases his exceptional artistic skill and ability to capture the essence of human nature. This print is a testament to the power of satire and the enduring appeal of the human condition, making it a significant work in the history of art and visual culture.
