C'est singulier... il ne me vient plus d'idées maintenant, 1844
EDITORS COMMENTS
(It's odd... I only get good ideas nowadays when in the Bois de Boulogne, horseback riding with Mr. Edouard) is a lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1844. This artwork is part of the series "Les Bas-blues" (The Bluestockings) published in the satirical journal Le Charivari. The print depicts a frustrated husband, gazing into a mirror as he contemplates his wife's infidelity. In the reflection, we see his wife, dressed in a riding habit and accompanied by another man, Mr. Edouard, in the Bois de Boulogne. The husband's expression is one of envy and jealousy, as he ponders the ideas that could be coming to his wife while she's in the company of another man. The image is a powerful commentary on the societal norms and expectations of the time, particularly regarding marriage and fidelity. The husband's desire for his wife to remain simple and virtuous is juxtaposed with her newfound freedom and independence, symbolized by her horseback riding attire and her companionship with another man. The print is a testament to Daumier's mastery of satire and his ability to capture the complexities of human emotions and relationships. The black and white composition, with its intricate details and nuanced shading, adds to the print's timeless appeal and makes it a valuable addition to any art collection. This lithograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the social and cultural context of 19th-century France. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, fashion, and the human condition. Honore Daumier's "C'est singulier... il ne me vient plus d'idées maintenant, 1844" is a captivating and thought-provoking work of art that continues to intrigue and inspire viewers to this day.
