Vous mon ami! comment vous savez... 1842
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in the mid-19th century. This intriguing work of art, titled "You; my friend! how do you know...," is part of Daumier's series "Les Vulgarites," which showcases the artist's keen sense of humor and satire. In this particular piece, Daumier masterfully captures the essence of human emotion and interaction. The image depicts a man, identified as Ragoulot, standing before a surprised and annoyed widower. The widower, dressed in a top hat and formal attire, is holding up a cane and exclaiming, "You; my friend! you know I'm a widower; after twenty years of hard work...not housekeeping; you see that I am starting to recover and you are suggesting a second marriage to me...Ragoulot, will you leave me be!" The use of black and white in this lithograph adds to the overall mood and tone, emphasizing the contrast between the man's formal attire and the unexpected interruption. The man's surprised expression and the widower's annoyance are both evident in their body language and facial expressions. This artwork is a testament to Daumier's ability to capture the nuances of human emotion and interaction through his art. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of people in 19th century France. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th century art, and is a must-have for anyone interested in the works of Honore Daumier or the history of satire and cartoon art. This lithograph, with its rich history and intriguing story, is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), making it accessible to art enthusiasts and scholars alike. It is a reminder of the enduring power of art to entertain, provoke thought, and transport us to another time and place.
