Three Hours,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Singles' Day" (La Journee du Celibataire) is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1839. This monochromatic masterpiece, a crayon lithograph in black on wove paper, showcases Daumier's exceptional talent for caricature and satire. The image depicts a crowded scene of men, all seemingly absorbed in their own worlds, with the passage of time encapsulated in the title. The setting is a bustling city street, where the press of people creates a palpable sense of urgency and chaos. At the center of the composition, a man, likely a pickpocket, is shown in the act of lifting a wallet from an unsuspecting victim. The criminal's smirk and the victim's shocked expression add a layer of humor and irony to the scene. Daumier's masterful use of lettering and conceptual depth make this work a standout in the annals of 19th-century art. The artist's ability to capture the essence of human nature, from the mundane to the criminal, is a testament to his skill and vision. "Three Hours" is a poignant commentary on the human condition, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. This work of art is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly in the realm of caricature and satire. It can be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be a source of fascination and intrigue for visitors from around the world. Whether viewed in person or through reproductions, Honore Daumier's "Three Hours" is a timeless masterpiece that continues to resonate with audiences and leave a lasting impression.
