Attention, Gargouillet, vila le bourgeois qui passe...
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1842. This intriguing work of art, titled "Attention, Gargouillet, vila le bourgeois qui passe..." (or "Look Out, Gargouillet, Here Comes the Bourgeois..."), is a humorous commentary on the daily life and social norms of 19th century France. The image depicts two men, clad in traditional attire, standing by the edge of a river, engrossed in conversation. The foreground is dominated by a large, heavy sponge, a bar of soap, and a basin, suggesting the men have recently bathed or are about to do so. The focus of their attention, however, is on a well-dressed bourgeoisie couple passing by on the opposite bank. One man calls out to Gargouillet, urging him to take advantage of the opportunity to have his head washed and receive some soap. The other man thanks him and sets off to obtain some, adding to the comedic scene. This lithograph is a testament to Daumier's exceptional ability to capture the essence of everyday life and satirize societal conventions. The black and white contrast of the print adds depth and texture, while the intricate details in the characters' expressions and postures convey a sense of humor and relatability. This piece is a valuable addition to the rich artistic heritage of France and a fascinating glimpse into the past. Originally part of the "Les Baigneurs" series, "Attention, Gargouillet, vila le bourgeois qui passe..." is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the artistic prowess and cultural significance of Honore Daumier.
