“Ces artistes sont presque tous fous . . . Ma parole d'honneur! . . . En voilà un qui a l'idée de faire le portrait d'un vieil arbre!” (August 27, 1847) is the kind of sheet Daumier made by the thousand: a blunt, observing drawing of ordinary people, the law, or the Paris street. Most are lithographs. A few are paintings.
About the artist
Honoré Daumier (1808–1879) was a French printmaker and painter. He made thousands of lithographs for the paper Le Charivari, satirizing lawyers, politicians, and the Paris street, and painted quieter pictures of travelers and people at work.
