EDITORS COMMENTS
Vous voila maintenant passe citoyen" (Here you are now a citizen) is a poignant and humorous lithograph by the renowned 19th century French artist Honore Daumier. This print, created in the mid-1800s, showcases a heartwarming moment between two citizens, both deeply engrossed in their affectionate interaction with their beloved dogs. Daumier's masterful use of black and white contrast creates a striking visual narrative. The image is set against a plain background, allowing the focus to remain on the central figures and their dogs. The man, dressed in a formal coat and top hat, stands with a serious expression, while the woman, in a flowing dress, tenderly leans down to speak to her pet. The dogs, with their expressive faces and body language, add an element of humor and playfulness to the scene. The title "Vous voila maintenant passe citoyen" suggests a sense of inclusion and belonging, as if the dogs are being granted citizenship alongside their owners. The print serves as a testament to the deep bond between humans and their animals, a connection that transcends social norms and class distinctions. This lithograph is a prime example of Daumier's satirical and parodic style, which often highlighted the absurdities and contradictions of French society during the 19th century. Despite its humorous tone, "Vous voila maintenant passe citoyen" also conveys a profound sense of affection and appreciation for the simple joys of life. Today, this cherished work of art is housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The enduring appeal of "Vous voila maintenant passe citoyen" lies in its ability to evoke emotions and provoke thought, making it a true masterpiece of 19th century art.
