EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "The Men of Justice, plate 15: You were hungry. . . That is not a Reason. . . 1845" takes us back to the 19th century in France. Created by Honore Daumier, a renowned French artist, this lithograph showcases his exceptional talent and keen observation of society. In this thought-provoking artwork, Daumier sheds light on the flaws within the justice system. The image portrays a group of men who are supposed to uphold fairness and righteousness but seem indifferent to the plight of those less fortunate. The title itself suggests that hunger cannot be justified as a reason for committing an offense. Through his masterful use of lines and shading, Daumier captures the essence of each character's personality and role in society. Their expressions range from indifference to arrogance, emphasizing their detachment from empathy or understanding. This print is now preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, serving as a testament to Daumier's artistic genius and his commitment to social commentary through art. As we gaze upon this piece today, it serves as a reminder that issues surrounding justice and inequality persist throughout history. Heritage Images has done an admirable job in preserving this significant artwork for future generations. This photograph allows us to appreciate Daumier's skill while also reflecting on our own societal values and responsibilities towards one another.
