Train de plaisir, dix degrés d'ennui et de mauvaise humeur
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Pleasure Train, Ten Degrees of Boredom and Bad Mood), created by Charles Maurand in 1862 and printed in 1920, is a captivating black and white caricature that offers a humorous and insightful commentary on the human condition. This engraving, part of the Tirage Unique de Trente-Six Bois collection, depicts a crowded passenger train filled with disgruntled figures, each expressing varying degrees of boredom and ill temper. The meticulously drawn figures, reminiscent of the works of Honore Daumier and Jules Meynial, convey a sense of frustration and coldness that permeates the train car. The passengers, both men and women, are depicted with exaggerated expressions and postures, highlighting their growing irritation and dissatisfaction. The artist, Maurand, masterfully employs a parody of the pleasure train concept, turning it into a commentary on the monotony and tedium of everyday life. This work of art, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the cultural heritage of the 19th and 20th centuries. The intricately detailed drawing, with its bold lines and stark contrasts, invites the viewer to reflect on the universal experiences of boredom and bad mood, making it a timeless piece that continues to resonate with audiences today. The artistry and wit of Maurand's work serve as a reminder of the power of art to entertain, provoke thought, and offer a window into the human experience.
