About the Item
Daumier was a master of French satire and caricatures. In this lithograph entitled "TYPES PARISIENS NO. 1, Eh bien malin! comment le trouvez vous celui-là! - Oui, oui, mais enfin - Oui...... oui ..... oui!" (Oh well you little rogue! how do you like this one! -Yes, yes, but at last - Yes...... yes ..... yes!), published in Le Charivari, August 27, 1841, he depicts two men tasting and critiquing wine while dining. One man seems frustrated that the other man has not liked the wines he has tasted so far (three bottles sit on their small bistro table), but he is happy that he has finally found one that meets with his companion's approval.
Daumier's initials (hD) can be found in the lower right corner.
The print is presented in a bleached wood frame and a white mat. The frame measures 16.88 " high, 19" wide and 1.38" deep. It is in excellent condition.
Provenance: Sterling Vineyard Winery Art Collection, Calistoga, CA. This print was displayed in the Sterling Vineyard tasting room.
Artist: Born in Marseille, Honoré Daumier moved to Paris at the age of eight. During his forty-year career, he produced over 4,000 lithographic caricatures and hundreds of small oil paintings, a body of work which endures today as one of the greatest bodies of satirical art ever produced. In 1832, he was convicted and jailed for insulting the King in a print called Gargantua, which depicted King Louis Phillippe on a giant chamber pot excreting political favors. From then on Daumier generally avoided political topics and used the middle class city-dwellers of Paris as his subjects. His prints appeared regularly in several Parisian satirical journals, the most famous being Le Charivari.
Daumier targeted the expanding class of French bourgeoisie and their pretensions to gentility, intellectualism and wealth. He used compassion and gentle humor to reveal ironies and satire. The closest he ever came to political satire after his imprisonment was a series of thirty-nine prints depicting legal proceedings, lawyers and judges, entitled Men of Justice (1845-48). These works, among his best known, are decidedly stronger in the criticism of their subjects. His other subjects include comedic theatre, charlatans of every variety, artists and collectors, Parisian women and the newly emerging railway. Daumier enjoyed great popularity during his life, but never managed to achieve financial success.
