EDITORS COMMENTS
(Hold Dorothee...this is where my passion for forget-me-nots has led me...) is a poignant and humorous lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1846. The print depicts an angry husband, fully clothed and wading in a river, shouting at his wife Dorothee. He holds up a bouquet of forget-me-nots, a symbol of his distraction and infatuation with the novels of Alphonse Karr. The scene is a satirical commentary on the dangers of literature and the potential consequences of a wife's obsession with reading. The husband's frustration is palpable as he calls out for Alphonse Karr, the author of the novels, to come and rescue him from the river. The print is part of Daumier's series "Les Bons bourgeois" (The Good Bourgeois), which explores the daily lives and foibles of the middle class. The image captures the essence of a day gone wrong, with the husband's disheveled appearance and the wild, untamed background of the river and surrounding landscape. The print is a testament to the power of art to capture a moment in time and to provoke thought and laughter. Honore Daumier (1808-1879) was a prolific French artist, known for his satirical and political cartoons. His work often commented on the social and political issues of his time, making him a leading figure in the development of modern art. This print, with its timeless themes of love, literature, and the perils of distraction, continues to resonate with audiences today. The print is held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a leading cultural institution dedicated to collecting, preserving, and presenting art from around the world. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire, provoke, and entertain, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that we have inherited from the past.
