Oui c'est bien feu ma femme!
EDITORS COMMENTS
translates to "Yes, it is indeed my late wife!" in English. This poignant statement is spoken by a man as he gazes at a portrait of his deceased spouse, created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1847. The lithographic print, titled "Oui c'est bien feu ma femme!...seulement je trouve que vous l'avez trop flattee!" (Yes, it is indeed my wife!...only I think that you have flattered her too much!), is part of Daumier's series "Tout ce qu'on voudra" (All That Is Desired). Daumier, a master of satire and caricature, expertly captures the complex emotions of loss and nostalgia in this image. The man's expression is a mix of fondness and disbelief as he contemplates the portrait, which seems to have exaggerated the beauty of his wife. The black and white contrast of the lithograph adds to the somber mood, while the artist's deft use of line and form brings the scene to life. The print is a testament to Daumier's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the human condition with wit and insight. It is a reminder that art can serve as a reflection of our own experiences and emotions, and that even in the face of loss, there is still room for humor and nuance. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focused on 19th century French art, satire, or the works of Honore Daumier. It is a unique and thought-provoking piece that invites viewers to ponder the complexities of love, loss, and the human experience. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is one location where this print can be found, adding to its rich and diverse collection of heritage art. Whether viewed in person or in reproduction, "Oui c'est bien feu ma femme!...seulement je trouve que vous l'avez trop flattee!" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the human condition.
