EDITORS COMMENTS
Toujours le livre de M. Flourens" (Always the book of M. Flourens) is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in the 19th century. This intriguing image showcases a man intently engrossed in a book while gazing into a mirror. The man appears to be in the prime of his life, yet he contemplates the reflection of an older face, with furrowed brows and a hint of a moustache beginning to grow. The title of the work references M. Flourens, a French philosopher and scientist, suggesting that the man in the print identifies with the author's belief that true virility and maturity don't manifest until the age of 68. This concept of aging and the passage of time is a recurring theme in Daumier's work, reflecting the societal preoccupation with aging and the desire to defy its effects. The black-and-white print, reminiscent of a caricature or cartoon, showcases the artist's mastery of the lithographic technique. The man's expression is both serious and contemplative, as he considers the reflection of his aging face and the wisdom that comes with it. The use of the looking glass adds an element of vanity and self-reflection, highlighting the human tendency to scrutinize our appearance and the way we age. This work of art, with its timeless themes and masterful execution, is a testament to Honore Daumier's artistic genius and his ability to capture the human condition in all its complexity. It is a must-see addition to any art collection or gallery, inviting viewers to reflect on the aging process and the wisdom that comes with the passage of time. The print, "Toujours le livre de M. Flourens," is a treasure from the 19th century, showcasing the wit, humor, and insight of one of France's greatest artists. It is a reminder that art, like the aging process, is a journey filled with discovery and transformation.
