La Vielle Méthode
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "The Old Method" is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in the 19th century. This monochrome masterpiece, filled with humour and satire, offers a profound commentary on the education system of the time. The image depicts a cramped classroom setting, where teachers, stern and unyielding, stand over their students, who appear to be in various stages of submission and frustration. The teachers, with their long robes and stern expressions, wield rulers and other disciplinary tools, while the boys, dressed in simple grey attire, huddle together, their faces etched with a mix of fear and resignation. Daumier's use of lettering adds to the caricatured effect, with the words "Professeurs et Moutards" or "Teachers and Sausages" written above the scene, adding a layer of absurdity to the already humorous image. The title "La Vielle Méthode" further emphasizes Daumier's critique of the traditional, rigid approach to education. This antique print, now a cherished piece of art history, invites us to reflect on the past and the ways in which education has evolved over time. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to exhibit this rare and thought-provoking work, which continues to resonate with audiences today. Daumier's "La Vielle Méthode" is a testament to the power of art as a means of social commentary, and a reminder of the importance of questioning and challenging the status quo. This black and white lithograph is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, education, or the human condition.
