EDITORS COMMENTS
Bien vexés de ne pas trouver... la couronne... (Upset not to find the crown), created by Honore Daumier in 1871, is a powerful and satirical caricature that captures the essence of frustration and disappointment. This print, also known as a gillotype on newsprint, showcases a group of disgruntled men, each with furrowed brows and clenched fists, gathered around a table. The figure in the center, wearing a top hat and a coat, stands out with his exaggerated expression of annoyance and despair. The title of the work, "Bien vexés de ne pas trouver... la couronne..." translates to "Upset not to find the crown," suggesting a sense of entitlement and expectation that has gone unmet. The men in the image appear to be of various social classes, adding a layer of complexity to the scene and broadening its relevance beyond a specific context. Honore Daumier (1808-1879) was a renowned French artist, caricaturist, and graphic artist, known for his biting wit and social commentary. His works often depicted the political and social climate of his time, offering a humorous yet insightful perspective on the world around him. This print, with its timeless depiction of frustration and disappointment, continues to resonate with audiences today. "Bien vexés de ne pas trouver... la couronne..." is an important piece of historical art, reflecting the cultural heritage of France and the 19th century. It can be found in various art centers and galleries around the world, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
