Le Chapeau qu'on rapporte de Paris,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "The Hat Brought Back from Paris," is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1844. This masterpiece is part of Daumier's series "Les Etrangers a Paris" (The Strangers in Paris) and was originally published in the satirical weekly magazine Le Charivari. The image showcases a disgruntled husband standing before a mirror, reflecting his image as he tries on a fashionable hat he has just purchased for his wife. The hat, a symbol of Parisian fashion, is held up against a looking glass, its extravagant design and high price tag evident. The husband's expression, however, is far from admiring. Instead, he is visibly annoyed, muttering to himself about the exorbitant cost of the hat and the airs his wife will give herself once she sees it. The black-and-white print, with its intricate details and sharp contrasts, captures the essence of 19th-century fashion and the tensions that could arise within marriages due to the pressure to keep up with the latest trends. The satirical tone of the work is further emphasized by the husband's soliloquy, which is written in the margin of the print. This piece is a testament to Daumier's exceptional skill as a cartoonist and his ability to capture the nuances of human emotion and social commentary through his art. Today, it remains an invaluable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of satire.
