Ce qu'on appelle les séductions de Paris,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "What we call the seductions of Paris," is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1844. This intriguing piece is part of Daumier's series "Les Etrangers a Paris" (Strangers in Paris), which offers a humorous commentary on Parisian life and its attractions for tourists. The image depicts a ticket vendor, or "ticket tout," eagerly selling tickets to a provincial visitor outside a Parisian theater. The caption above the scene reads, "A seat in the stalls, our fine bourgeois...you will hear Madame Dorus-Grasse and Mr. Bariolhe singing this evening...an excellent seat on the ground floor...twelve francs...cheaper than at the booking office!" The ticket tout's hard sell is met with a skeptical look from the tourist, who clutches a map and a small bag. Daumier masterfully employs satire and parody in this lithograph, using the metaphor of the theater as a symbol for the allure and seduction of Paris. The ticket tout, with his slicked-back hair and confident posture, represents the salesman's art of persuasion and the relentless pursuit of profit. The tourist, on the other hand, embodies the naive and curious traveler, drawn to the vibrant and exciting world of Paris but unsure of how to navigate it. This work of art, with its rich history and intriguing commentary on human nature, continues to captivate audiences and art enthusiasts alike. The black and white contrast of the lithograph adds to its timeless appeal, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, satire, or the human condition. This lithograph, "Ce qu'on appelle les séductions de Paris," is a testament to Honore Daumier's artistic genius and his ability to capture the essence of Parisian life in the 19th century. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
