('But all you idiots...don't you see that it's the author!') reveals, the focus is not on the women but on Daumier himself.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Decadence du drame en 1866" (The Decline of Drama in 1866) is a poignant and satirical lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. Created in 1866, this print captures the essence of the audience's reaction to a tragic play, highlighting their disbelief and indifference towards the emotional depth portrayed on stage. Daumier masterfully depicts a group of men in the theater, engrossed in their conversation, oblivious to the tragic scene unfolding before them. One man, a fool in the crowd, wipes away a tear, convinced that the events on stage are real. The other men, with a mixture of amusement and contempt, point out the playwright in the wings, revealing the illusion of reality. The title "Decadence du drame en 1866" adds a layer of commentary on the state of the theater during this period. Daumier's work serves as a critique of the audience's lack of emotional connection to the theater and the decline of genuine emotion in the plays themselves. This lithograph is a testament to Daumier's keen observation of human behavior and his ability to capture the irony and humor in everyday situations. The print's timeless commentary on the relationship between art and audience continues to resonate with viewers today, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or museum. The Parisienneries series, of which "Decadence du drame en 1866" is a part, showcases Daumier's unique perspective on French society and culture during the 19th century. The print is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, a testament to its enduring significance in the world of art.
