EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Regulateur," or "Monomaniacs - The Regulator," is a captivating 19th century lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. Created in the heart of the industrial revolution, this image offers a humorous and insightful commentary on the obsession with time and punctuality that characterized the era. Daumier masterfully depicts a man, dressed in the fashion of the time, intently focused on adjusting the gears of a large pocket watch. His hat is tipped low over his brow, and his expression is one of intense concentration. The man's monochrome attire, with its grey tones, adds to the overall sense of seriousness and determination. The title "Monomaniacs - The Regulator" suggests that Daumier saw the man's obsession with time as a form of madness. The use of the term "regulator" may also be a reference to the mechanical clocks and watches that were becoming increasingly common during this period. This lithograph is a testament to Daumier's skill as a caricaturist and his ability to capture the essence of human behavior with wit and humor. The image invites us to reflect on the ways in which our obsession with time and productivity continues to shape our lives, even as the specifics of 19th century fashion and technology have faded into history. "Le Regulateur" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, fashion, or the human condition. It can be found in the prestigious collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., along with other works by Honore Daumier. This historic piece offers a glimpse into the past, while also resonating with the present-day fascination with time and the desire to regulate it.
