EDITORS COMMENTS
La Vielle Méthode," or "The Old Method," is a powerful and poignant lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1845. This image, part of Daumier's series "Professeurs et Moutards" (Teachers and Students), was published in the satirical journal Le Charivari. The print depicts an angry teacher, his face contorted with rage, as he scolds a defiant student. The teacher's hand is raised, ready to strike, while the student's hands are clenched in defiance, held back by an unseen force. The teacher's words, spoken with contempt, are etched into the image: "Ah! very funny, so you are planning to spend the rest of your life tying paper tails to the backs of flies!" The scene is set in a simple, cramped schoolroom, with a wooden desk and chair, and a window looking out onto a grey, rainy day. The teacher's fury is palpable, and the student's determination is evident in his defiant posture. This image is a scathing commentary on the use of corporal punishment in schools, a common practice in the 19th century. Daumier's use of satire and parody highlights the absurdity and cruelty of such methods, and serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy and understanding in the educational process. La Vielle Méthode is a testament to Daumier's mastery of the lithographic medium, with its intricate lines and subtle shading creating a sense of depth and texture. The image is a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of art as a means of social commentary and critique. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th century art, and a testament to the enduring power of satire and parody as a means of challenging societal norms and provoking thought.
