EDITORS COMMENTS
, or "Let's see...Do I look manly enough like this?" is a thought-provoking and humorous lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1856. This image is a part of Daumier's series "Les Boursicotieres" (The Stock Exchange Women), showcasing a woman in the act of cross-dressing in order to gain entry into the male-dominated world of finance. Daumier masterfully captures the woman's determination and anxiety as she adjusts her hat, facial hair, and crinoline petticoat to blend in with the men in the stock exchange. Her furrowed brow and intense gaze convey her focus and resolve, while her hoop skirt and hoopskirt peeking out from under her trousers add a touch of irony and humor to the scene. The black and white lithograph, with its intricate details and bold lines, is a testament to Daumier's exceptional artistic skill and his ability to capture the nuances of human emotion and social commentary. The image invites viewers to reflect on the societal norms and expectations of gender roles during the 19th century, as well as the barriers women faced in pursuing careers and opportunities outside of traditional domestic roles. This powerful and thought-provoking work of art is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of apparel, art, and the social commentary of the 19th century. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences. Honore Daumier (1808-1879) was a prolific French artist, caricaturist, and printmaker, known for his satirical and humorous works that often criticized the social and political issues of his time. His work continues to be celebrated for its wit, insight, and enduring relevance.
