EDITORS COMMENTS
Madame Anastasie Boujot est de première force... 1842," a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, invites us into a poignant and humorous depiction of marriage and the passage of time. The image, part of Daumier's collection "Moeurs conjugales," showcases Madame Boujot deeply engrossed in meditation, her gaze fixed on the night sky. The stars above seem to stir her emotions, causing her to quiver with each twinkle. However, the appearance of the moon brings tears to her eyes. The reason for her emotional response is revealed in the presence of her husband, Mr. Mathieu Boujot, who stands behind her, his expression filled with disdain. The crescent moon, a symbol of change and transformation, reminds him of the numerous misfortunes he has experienced. In contrast, his wife finds solace in the celestial bodies, perhaps finding comfort in the vastness of the universe and the passage of time. Daumier masterfully captures the complexities of human emotion and the intricacies of marriage in this black and white lithograph. The use of contrasting emotions and the juxtaposition of the couple's reactions to the night sky adds depth and nuance to the image. The print, with its satirical and parodic elements, invites viewers to contemplate the joys and challenges of marriage and the role that the natural world can play in shaping our emotions and experiences. This evocative work of art, created in 1842, is a testament to Daumier's artistic genius and his ability to capture the human condition with humor and insight. The print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
