Dramatic Delights de Daumier
Honoré Daumier (1808–1879) drew people being gloriously, recognizably themselves: lawyers hamming it up, readers vanishing into books, travelers enduring railway carriages with quietly peevish dignity. His illustrations were the highlight of multiple satirical newspapers in the fast-and-furious publishing world of 19th-century Paris.
Now, digitally enhanced with contemporary captions, six of his iconic lithographs have become greeting cards for modern every day life: encouragement, goofy gratitude, heartfelt love, and dramatic commiseration when things are just terrible. A little art history, ready to send. Learn more about Daumier here.
