Des Parisiens dans l'attente du plaisir.. 1855
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Parisians waiting for entertainment - Two hours queuing at any theatre), is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1855. Published in the weekly satirical magazine Le Charivari on March 5, 1855, this masterpiece offers a humorous and insightful commentary on the daily life of Parisians during the 19th century. The black and white image depicts a long line of Parisians, both men and women, waiting in front of a theatre. The crowd is a diverse representation of the French society, with each character expressing various emotions of boredom, frustration, and amusement. Some are seen complaining to one another, while others are trying to pass the time by engaging in conversation or playing cards. The fashion of the era is beautifully captured through the intricate details of their clothing, with women wearing elegant dresses and hats, and men donning top hats and suits. Daumier's use of satire and parody is evident in the exaggerated expressions and postures of the characters, which adds to the overall humor and metaphorical meaning of the piece. The long queue outside the theatre serves as a metaphor for the tedious and often boring aspects of everyday life, which people endure in the hopes of finding entertainment and pleasure. This lithograph is a testament to Daumier's exceptional artistic skills and his ability to capture the essence of Parisian life during the 19th century. It is a valuable addition to the rich heritage of art and serves as a reminder of the universal human experiences of waiting in line and seeking entertainment. The image is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and continues to captivate and inspire audiences around the world.
