EDITORS COMMENTS
(A tenant who pays his rent right on time), is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1847. Part of Daumier's series "Locataires et propriétaires" (Landlords and Tenants), this masterpiece showcases a humorous and satirical take on the relationship between a tenant and a landlord. The image depicts a well-dressed man in top hat and suit, standing at the foot of a staircase, handing over his rent payment to a landlord who stands politely to the side. The tenant's reliable and punctual payment is emphasized through the use of the title, as well as the landlord's respectful gesture of stepping aside to allow the tenant to pass. The black and white lithograph, with its intricate details and nuanced shading, captures the essence of 19th century fashion and housing. The tenant's neatly pressed clothes and the landlord's formal attire add to the overall sense of propriety and courtesy. Daumier's use of parody and satire is evident in the exaggerated gestures and expressions of the two figures. The tenant's raised hand and the landlord's tip of the hat serve to highlight the ritualistic nature of the rent-paying process. This work of art, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to Daumier's keen observation of human behavior and his ability to capture it in a humorous and thought-provoking way. The image continues to resonate with contemporary audiences, offering a glimpse into the past while also shedding light on the enduring nature of the landlord-tenant relationship.
