M. Prudhomme - Mon fils, salute ce monument... 1855. Creator: Honore Daumier
M. Prudhomme - Mon fils, salute ce monument... 1855. Monsieur Prudhomme: "My son, salute this monument, which is more than a monument, since it is a bazaar, which is even more than a bazaar, since it is the Palace of Industry. oh my son, your father also could have exhibited! I made models of calligraphy, which, I dare say, would excite the admiration of all genuine connoisseurs, no matter what nationality, but my modesty has prevented me from sending anything to this exhibition...but it doesn't matter, always remember, my son, that politeness is the genteel prerogative of well-mannered men". Monsieur Prudhomme was a character invented by Henri Monnier to symbolise bourgeois complacency and self-satisfaction. From L'Exposition Universelle, no. 4

M. Prudhomme - Mon fils, salute ce monument... 1855,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, showcases a proud and boastful father, Monsieur Prudhomme, admiring the Palace of Industry during the Universal Exposition of 1855 in Paris. Daumier, through his satirical and humorous lens, masterfully captures the essence of bourgeois complacency and self-satisfaction. Monsieur Prudhomme, a fictional character created by Henri Monnier, stands before his son, gesturing towards the monument with an air of grandiosity. He proudly declares, "My son, salute this monument, which is more than a monument, since it is a bazaar, which is even more than a bazaar, since it is the Palace of Industry." The father's boastful words reveal his deep-rooted desire to be a part of the cultural event, despite his modesty preventing him from exhibiting his calligraphy. The image, reminiscent of the 19th century, captures the essence of the Universal Exposition and the pride of the French people. The father's white shirt and black waistcoat contrast sharply with the dark background, drawing attention to the father-son duo and their interaction. The use of hand gestures and facial expressions adds to the humor and satire of the piece, making it a beloved work of art in the annals of French cultural heritage. This lithograph, now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to Daumier's mastery of the medium and his keen observation of human nature. It serves as a reminder of the importance of politeness and the human tendency towards self-aggrandizement, making it a timeless piece that continues to resonate with audiences today.
