Daumier and Millet, two of the most important French artists of the mid 19th century, each produced drawings that were innovative and influential. This book by Bruce Laughton - a critical and comparative study of these drawings - investigates the artistic relationship that existed between Daumier and Millet. Laughton suggests that the two worked at a critical phase in the development of drawing as a language of expression in French art and that a study of their work reveals how new methods of conception and perception in drawing came about. Laughton summarizes the history of the personal relationship between Daumier and Millet from their first meeting in the 1840s. He defines the kind of drawing that they practiced and places it in the context of draftsmanship in France in the first half of the 19th century. He then analyzes their artistic activities during the critical years of 1845-51, situating them in the social and political history of the Second Republic and the inauguration of the Second Empire. Next Laughton compares the style and meaning of the urban and rural images in their drawings during the period from 1851 to 1865. In the final section he discusses certain other similarities in their work: the extent to which their landscape drawings were precursors of Impressionist art; the ways that their illustrations were related to literature of the period; and the effect of the poli

Ranked alongside Ingres by Baudelaire as the finest draughtsman in Paris and matched as a political caricaturist in the nineteenth century only by Goya, Honor aumier worked for opposition newspapers throughout the Second Empire, one of the most corrupt and flamboyant periods in French history. He won fame, notoriety, and so a prison sentence, for his prodigious output of caricatures of prominent politicians and his relentless lampooning of the hypocrisy and pretentions of contemporary Parisian moeurs. Sarah Symmons both examines Daumier's role as a professional newspaper artist and explores his more personal body of work, which remained largely unknown during his lifetime. Investigating his series of watercolours and oils of the ordinary citizens of Paris, of the railway travellers, mounte-banks and washerwomen who also people his caricatures, she finds a tragic monumentality far removed from the journalistic cynicism of much of his newspaper work. This quality they share with his more ambitious studies of the dispossessed, of fugitives and emigrants, and of the heroically absurd wanderings of Don Quixote. Often choosing to paint the simple everyday life he saw around him, Daumier was a model example of le peintre de la vie moderne, while his use of pictorial understatement and his painstaking search for absolute simplicity gave many of his pictures an experimental, 'unfinished

A painter, sculptor and printmaker, Honore Daumier (1808-1879) was one of the most prolific and important artists of 19th-century France. He played a leading role in shaping the new realism brought to the portrayal of everyday life, but he is now best-known for the thousands of caricatures he published in magazines and newspapers such as "Le Charivari", a daily paper with satirical articles and a wide circulation. This text, which accompanied an exhibition of prints from the collection of Egon and Belle Gartenberg, focuses on Daumier's vivid records of the musical life of Paris. Although not himself a musician, Daumier had a keen interest in the amateur practice of the art as well as in grand opera and the celebrated performers and composers of his day.

Honori-Victorin Daumier was a masterfully versatile artist, creating powerful works in lithography, pen and ink, sculpture, watercolor, and oil. This beautiful book explores the astonishing breadth of his achievement. Written by eminent figures in the artworld, the book illuminates Daumier's success as a political and social satirist, showing how he identified with the dispossessed, the poor, and the oppressed. The authors point out that lithography was Daumier's weapon in humorous attacks on patronage (Gargantua) and in stark exposures of injustice (Rue Transnonain), while his paintings and drawings recorded scenes of emigration (The Fugitives), and public transport (The Third-Class Carriage). Daumier's sculpture parodied political abuses (Ratapoil) and caricatured pompous and self-important public figures (The Celebrites series from La Caricature and Le Charivari), and his watercolours captured his disdain for lawyers and judges (The Speech for the Defence) and his empathy for the poor (The Soup). With lavish reproductions, each accompanied by apparatus, commentary, and provenance, the book is a vivid testimony of Daumier's ongoing legacy. This book is the catalogue for an exhibition of Daumier's work on view at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, from 11 June to 6 September 1999, the Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, Paris, from 5 October 1999 to 3 January 2000, and The Philli
