Robert Macaire Director
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in the 19th century. This monochromatic masterpiece, featuring the fictional character Robert Macaire, is a testament to Daumier's exceptional skill in caricature and satire. Robert Macaire was a fictional con man and rogue, a character that frequently appeared in French literature and theater during the 19th century. In this depiction, Daumier portrays Macaire as a confident and cunning figure, dressed in the attire of a director or manager. The grey-toned lithograph, with its intricate lettering and detailed illustration, exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. The scene is set in what appears to be a theatrical or administrative location, with Macaire standing in the foreground, his back to the viewer, as he directs or oversees the activities of several men in the background. The men, who are depicted in various stages of confusion and consternation, seem to be the unwitting victims of Macaire's schemes. This work of art is a prime example of Daumier's ability to use humor and parody to critique the societal norms and conventions of his time. The image invites the viewer to ponder the nature of deception and the role of the con artist in society, while also showcasing Daumier's exceptional draftsmanship and artistic vision. This lithograph is a valuable addition to any art collection, and its historical significance makes it a must-have for anyone with an interest in 19th century French art, caricature, or the history of con artistry. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is just one of the many prestigious institutions that have recognized the importance of this work, and it has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world.
