EDITORS COMMENTS
Une partie de campagne pendant le joli mois de mai.. 1856" (A day trip to the countryside during the lovely month of May, 1856) is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This masterpiece, published in the periodical "Le Charivari" on May 8, 1856, is a poignant depiction of the realities of family life during the 19th century. The image captures a weary husband and wife, trudging through the rain-soaked countryside with their two children in tow. The husband, wearing a top hat and a heavy overcoat, offers words of encouragement to his wife, Adelaide, who looks equally exhausted and fed up. The children, bundled up in their raincoats and hats, cling to their parents, their faces expressing a mix of tiredness and excitement. The title of the work, "Du courage... Adelaide, nous n'avons plus qu'une petite lieue à faire!" (Courage... Adelaide, we only have one little league to go!) adds to the sense of determination and perseverance in the face of adversity. The rainy, gray backdrop of the countryside only serves to highlight the contrasting colors of the family's wet clothing and the vibrant umbrellas they carry. This satirical work, part of Daumier's "Actualites" series, offers a humorous and insightful commentary on the challenges of a day trip to the countryside during the spring season. The use of black and white, or bw, lithography adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a beloved piece of heritage art that continues to resonate with audiences today. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this important work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the wit and wisdom of Honore Daumier and to reflect on the universal experiences of family life and the joys and challenges of a day trip to the countryside.
