Oh! ma femme est morte!
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Oh! my wife is dead), created by Honore Daumier in 1836, is a poignant and satirical hand-coloured lithograph that captures the raw emotion and unexpected humor often found in Daumier's works. This historic piece, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the artist's unique ability to depict the human condition with both empathy and irony. The scene unfolds in a dimly lit room, where a man, dressed in the fashion of the 19th century, sits in front of a mirror, a razor in hand, as he shaves. His face is etched with deep lines and a look of sadness, while the mirror reflects his grief-stricken expression. The room is filled with the usual accoutrements of a barber shop - a basin, a towel, a shaving brush, and a bowl of shaving foam. But what sets this scene apart is the unexpected presence of a small coffin in the corner, and the letter, ominously labeled "Dernier Mot" (Last Words), that the man clutches in his hand. The title of the work, "Oh! ma femme est morte!" adds to the somber mood, but the inclusion of the coffin and the letter imbues the scene with a sense of dark humor and irony. Daumier's use of color and lettering adds to the overall effect, with the bold, black lettering of the title contrasting sharply with the muted, earthy tones of the image. This caricature, with its powerful message of loss and the unexpected twist of humor, is a testament to Daumier's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the complexities of the human experience. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of France and the enduring power of art to provoke thought and emotion.
