EDITORS COMMENTS
Honore Daumier's masterpiece, "Les Écuries d'Augias" or "The Augean Stables," created in 1842, is a captivating lithograph that brings to life the ancient Greek myth of Hercules' Twelfth Labor. This humorous and satirical work, from the nineteenth century, depicts Hercules, the legendary hero, tired and fed up as he faces the daunting task of cleaning the filthy stables of King Augeas, which had not been cleaned in thirty years. The image, published in "L'Histoire ancienne," showcases Hercules, clad in nothing but his loincloth, wielding both a broom and a shovel, surrounded by a multitude of horses and mules. The artist's use of black and white contrasts effectively highlights the starkness of the scene, emphasizing the hero's exhaustion and the overwhelming task before him. Daumier's play on words, "Se faire recureur, pour un héros superbe, C'est, par Hercule, un gout difficile à chanter," translates to "To become a scourer, for a superb hero, It is, by Hercules, a taste difficult to sing." This pun is a clever reference to the laborious nature of the task Hercules is undertaking, as well as the challenges of singing heroic tales about such an unglamorous endeavor. The LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) proudly houses this remarkable piece of heritage art, which continues to amuse and intrigue viewers with its unique blend of humor, satire, and mythology. This timeless work of art serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of ancient Greek mythology and the human capacity for finding humor in the most unexpected places.
