Passez au large!
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Go Away!), created by Honore Daumier in the 19th century, is a powerful and satirical lithograph that captures the political and social climate of France during that era. This monochrome print, with its striking contrast of white and grey tones, is a testament to the artist's mastery of the lithographic medium and his ability to use humor and caricature to comment on the issues of the day. The scene depicts a crowded street filled with figures from all walks of life, each one urging the central figure, a well-dressed man, to "go away." The man, with a look of exasperation on his face, holds up a large urn labeled "Universal Suffrage," a reference to the ongoing debate over the extension of voting rights to all citizens. The satirical tone is further emphasized by the exaggerated and humorous depictions of the figures in the background, including a woman with a suffrage banner and a man holding a bottle labeled "Alcohol." This print was created during a time of great political upheaval in France, with the country grappling with issues of democracy, equality, and social justice. Daumier's use of caricature and satire was a way to comment on these issues, often poking fun at the powerful and the elite while highlighting the struggles of the common people. Today, "Passez au large!" is considered a seminal work in the history of art and a valuable addition to any collection of 19th century political cartoons. It is a reminder of the power of art to reflect and comment on the world around us, and the enduring relevance of the issues it addresses." This print is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, politics, and social commentary.
