About the Item

A hand-colored lithograph by the father of French satire and caricature, Honore Daumier (1808-1879) entitled "Faut espérer que grâce à ces précautions ce diable d'Oïdum ne pénétrera pas dans mes vignes... il n'osera pas... non plus que mossieu Tuckéri" (We'll Just Hope That Thanks to These Precautions This Devil of a Mildew Won't Penetrate My Vines... it won't dare... no more than Monsieur Tuckéry) from Le Charivari, 22 Ocotober 1853, No. 5. In this colored lithograph he depicts a man surveying his vineyard hoping that the precautions he has taken, including erecting three scarecrows, will protect his vines and wine grapes from mildew. Daumier's initials (hD) can be found in the lower left corner. The print is presented in a bleached wood frame and a white mat. 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.
