Messieurs...il nous reste un 43ème toast à porter à la Société de Temperance!
EDITORS COMMENTS
, or "Gentlemen...we still have a 43rd toast to make to the Temperance Society!", is a poignant and satirical lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1844. This image, entitled "Les Philanthropes du jour" (Philanthropists of the Day), is a testament to Daumier's keen observation of human behavior and his ability to use art as a tool for social commentary. The print depicts a group of disheveled, drunken men gathered around a dining table, surrounded by empty wine bottles and glasses. The scene exudes a sense of debauchery and excess, as the men raise their glasses in a toast, seemingly oblivious to the implication of the title. The Temperance Society, a movement advocating for the reduction of alcohol consumption, is referenced in the title, adding a layer of irony and commentary on the men's behavior. Daumier's masterful use of contrast and detail in this lithograph is evident in the intricately drawn furniture and the expressive faces of the men. The table is cluttered with wine bottles and glasses, and the men's clothing is disheveled and stained, reflecting their state of inebriation. The men's faces are contorted in various expressions of drunkenness, from laughter to confusion, adding to the overall sense of chaos and excess. This powerful and thought-provoking image is a reminder of the societal issues of the 19th century and the role of art in commenting on and challenging societal norms. Today, it remains a beloved and enduring piece of heritage art, showcased in prestigious museums such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
