Sortez!...(Bajazet), 1841
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This masterpiece is a part of Daumier's collection "Physionomies tragico-classiques" (Physiognomy of the Characters of Classical Tragedy), which showcases the artist's unique interpretation of various characters from classical plays. In this particular print, Daumier portrays the character Bajazet from Jean Racine's tragic play of the same name. Bajazet, a Turkish prince, is known for his tragic fate and emotional turmoil. Daumier's depiction captures the essence of Bajazet's despair and anguish through the character's exaggerated facial expressions and hand gestures. The print is rendered in black and white, adding to the dramatic effect of the image. Bajazet is shown with a turban on his head, a traditional headdress worn in Turkey during that era. His eyes are wide and filled with tears, and his mouth is open in a scream, as if expressing the deepest agony. His hands are raised in a frantic gesture, adding to the sense of urgency and desperation. Daumier's use of satire and parody is evident in this print, as he pokes fun at the traditional portrayal of tragic characters in art. The artist's unique interpretation of Bajazet's physiognomy adds a humorous yet thought-provoking element to the image. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly for those with an interest in 19th-century French art, drama, or satire. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. Daumier's "Sortez!...(Bajazet), 1841" is a testament to the artist's mastery of the medium of lithography and his ability to capture the essence of human emotion through exaggerated facial expressions and gestures. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the human condition.
