EDITORS COMMENTS
(It was definitely here that he had arranged to meet me between the 4th and 5th waves), penned Honore Daumier in 1853 as he captured the humorous moment of a woman's frustration at being kept waiting on the beach. This lithograph, titled "C'est bien ici qu'il m'avait... 1853," is part of Daumier's "Croquis aquatiques" series, showcasing the artist's keen observation and satirical wit. In the image, a woman, dressed in a bathing costume, stands on the shore, her hands on her hips, as she looks out to the sea. The 4th and 5th waves, visible in the background, appear to be the only witnesses to her impatience. The woman's expression conveys a sense of annoyance and disbelief at the man's tardiness. The black and white contrast of the print adds to the mood, emphasizing the woman's determination and the playful, whimsical tone of the artwork. The scene is a common one, as people have been vacationing at the beach for centuries, but Daumier's unique perspective and use of satire make this image a standout in the annals of 19th-century art. The print is a testament to the enduring appeal of the beach as a subject, as well as the timeless nature of human experiences and emotions. This lithograph, created by Honore Daumier, is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the universal nature of the human condition. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is proud to house this piece of heritage art, which continues to inspire and delight viewers with its humor and insight.
