Je me fiche bien de votre Mme. Sand...
EDITORS COMMENTS
(I don't care about your Madame Sand...) is a powerful and provocative lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1839. This image is part of Daumier's series "Les Moeurs conjugales" (The Marital Habits), which satirically explores the complexities and contradictions of marriage and family life in 19th century France. The print depicts an angry husband, seated in a carriage and holding a book, as he exclaims his frustration towards the famous feminist writer, Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, better known as George Sand. Sand was a groundbreaking figure in French literature, advocating for women's rights, gender equality, and the division of labor between the sexes. Her writings often challenged the traditional roles of women and the patriarchal norms of her time. In this image, the husband is shown expressing his disdain for Sand's influence on women, as they are seen mending their trousers and footwear instead of fulfilling their traditional roles. His words call for the restoration of divorce or the suppression of such authors. The image is a stark commentary on the societal pressures and misogynistic attitudes towards women's roles and their pursuit of personal freedom and autonomy. The black and white lithograph, with its intricate details and nuanced humor, is a testament to Daumier's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the complexities of human emotions and societal issues. The print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and serves as an important reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and women's rights.
