EDITORS COMMENTS
or "It's strange how this mirror flattens me," is a poignant and thought-provoking lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1844. This piece is part of Daumier's series "Les Bas-bleus," which satirically explores the social and cultural norms of the time, particularly in relation to women and fashion. The image depicts a full-length reflection of a man, dressed in the fashion of the nineteenth century, gazing at himself in a cheval glass or "looking glass" mirror. The mirror, however, distorts his reflection, flattening him out and reducing him to a two-dimensional figure. This visual representation of the man's self-perception serves as a commentary on the societal pressure to conform to idealized body types and the role of fashion in shaping self-image. Despite the seemingly light-hearted and humorous tone, Daumier's work also carries a subtle critique of the misogynistic and sexist attitudes prevalent during the time. The title of the series, "Les Bas-bleus," refers to women who wore loose-fitting, high-waisted skirts and blouses, often associated with intellectual pursuits and the rejection of traditional feminine roles. The satirical portrayal of women in the series, along with the man's distorted reflection, highlights the societal double standard and the pressure on both men and women to conform to narrow beauty ideals. This powerful and thought-provoking piece, now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, continues to resonate with contemporary audiences, offering a glimpse into the complex social and cultural issues of the past and their relevance to the present. The black and white lithograph, with its intricate details and nuanced commentary, invites viewers to reflect on the enduring impact of fashion, body image, and societal expectations on our self-perception and identity.
