EDITORS COMMENTS
Commençant des visites...pour son Prince, 1851," or "Starting to make campaign visits for his Prince," is a poignant and humorous lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This masterpiece, created in the 19th century, captures the essence of rural life and the political process during that era. The image depicts an agricultural laborer, dressed in tattered clothing and wearing a simple hat, making his way through the countryside. He carries a cane and wears a serious expression, as if he has a heavy burden on his shoulders. In one hand, he clutches a hat, likely to be used as a campaign prop or to greet potential voters. The title of the work suggests that this laborer is making campaign visits on behalf of a prince, highlighting the intersection of agriculture and politics during this time. The black and white composition adds to the somber and realistic tone of the piece. The intricate details of the laborer's clothing and the textures of the landscape are beautifully rendered, showcasing Daumier's exceptional skill as a lithographer. The image is a testament to the hard work and dedication required of agricultural laborers during this period, as well as the importance of their role in the political process. This lithograph is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th century art, particularly those focused on agriculture, politics, or social commentary. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of France and the complexities of rural life during this time period. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this work in its collection, allowing future generations to appreciate the artistry and significance of Honore Daumier's work.
