EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph by Honore Daumier, titled "Ce logement est un peu cher, pour la place Royale... 1844," captures a humorous exchange between a prospective tenant and a landlord. The scene depicts the landlord trying to convince the tenant of the high price of the accommodation by pointing out that from the window, one can see Victor Hugo getting out of bed two or three times a week.
Daumier's satirical take on housing and property rental in 19th century France is both witty and insightful. Through his art, he sheds light on societal issues such as class divide and the absurdity of paying exorbitant prices for prestigious locations.
The interaction between the characters is captured with great detail, from their clothing to their gestures. The landlord's exaggerated hand gesture adds to the comedic effect of the scene.
This print from Daumier's series "Locataires et proprietaires" showcases his talent for blending humor with social commentary. It serves as a reminder that even in centuries past, people have grappled with issues surrounding housing affordability and location prestige.
Displayed at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), this artwork continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a glimpse into historical perspectives on renting accommodations in urban settings.
