EDITORS COMMENTS
L'Acteur...on voit bien qu'il fait chaud... (The Actor...It is Clear that it is Hot...), a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, depicts a humorous backstage moment at a Parisian theatre in 1856. The image captures the anticipation and urgency of the director and three anxious spectators, all eagerly waiting for the actor to take his place on stage. However, one spectator, revealed to be the intermission salesman, threatens to disrupt their plans. Daumier masterfully employs a theatrical setting to explore the intricacies of human behavior and the absurdities of the entertainment industry. The black and white composition, reminiscent of a cartoon, adds to the whimsical and satirical tone. The actors' apparel, with their extravagant costumes and serious expressions, contrasts sharply with the casual attire and nonchalant demeanor of the intermission salesman. This intriguing work of art, titled "L'Acteur...on voit bien qu'il fait chaud...," is a testament to Daumier's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of the human condition through his art. The image invites us to ponder the role of the director, the performer, and the audience in the grand production of life, as well as the unexpected challenges that can arise even in the most mundane of situations. This lithograph, part of the rich heritage of the arts, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of acting, theatre, or the art world. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is proud to house this masterpiece, which continues to inspire and delight viewers with its timeless wit and charm.
