EDITORS COMMENTS
(Obligatory New Year visit to Aunt Rabourdin), a captivating hand-colored lithograph by Honore Daumier from 1847, offers a humorous and satirical glimpse into the daily life of the middle class during the 19th century. In this image, we see a bored mother making an obligatory New Year's visit to her sister-in-law, Aunt Rabourdin. The children, dressed in their finest apparel, look on with expressions of disinterest and annoyance. The mother, dressed in a fashionable Victorian gown with a colorful bonnet, leans in for a kiss on the cheek from her sister-in-law, who wears a similar yet less extravagant outfit. The siblings exchange pleasantries, their faces betraying a hint of the underlying tedium and routine of such social obligations. The artist, Honore Daumier, masterfully captures the nuances of the bourgeoisie's social traditions, poking fun at the formality and repetition of New Year's visits. The use of hand-tinting adds depth and vibrancy to the scene, making it a charming and intriguing piece of heritage art. This lithograph, titled "Les Bons bourgeois, no. 46," is part of the extensive collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It is a testament to the rich history of French art and the satirical commentary on the social norms and expectations of the time. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring traditions that shape our lives and the humor that often lies within them. Through Daumier's keen observation and artistic skill, "Au nouvel an, visite obligée à la tante Rabourdin" offers a delightful and amusing glimpse into the lives of the 19th-century bourgeoisie, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, social commentary, or the human condition.
