EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Théâtre du Vaudeville - Passé Minuit" (Theatre of Vaudeville - Past Midnight), was created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1839. Published in the magazine "Album Theatral," this masterpiece is a testament to Daumier's exceptional talent for capturing the nuances of human emotion and interaction. The image portrays a heated argument between a man and a woman in a bedroom setting. The man, with a look of exasperation on his face, implores the woman to close the window, fearing the consequences of the late hour and the potential disapproval of their neighbors. The woman, equally frustrated, responds with a threat of her own, suggesting that she may resort to violence if he does not comply. Daumier's use of contrast and shadow in this black and white lithograph adds depth and texture to the scene, enhancing the overall impact of the image. The artist's ability to convey the intensity of the moment through the body language and facial expressions of the figures is truly remarkable. This satirical work is a reflection of the societal norms of the time, highlighting the importance of maintaining a respectable image in public. The use of humor and parody in Daumier's art was a common practice during the 19th century, and this piece is a prime example of his skill in this regard. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this precious piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistic heritage of France and the mastery of Honore Daumier. This image is not only a glimpse into the past but also a reminder of the timeless nature of human emotions and relationships.
