Honore Daumier's lithograph
EDITORS COMMENTS
Physionomies de spectateurs de la Porte St-Martin..." (Physiognomies of spectators of Porte-St.-Martin during a performance of Richard III) captures the diverse and intriguing expressions of the theatre-going public in 19th century Paris. The image, created by Daumier in 1852, depicts a crowd of men, each lost in their own world as they watch a performance of William Shakespeare's Richard III at the Porte St-Martin Theatre. Daumier's satirical and humorous take on the audience is evident in the exaggerated facial expressions he has captured. Some men are fast asleep, their faces contorted in peaceful slumber, while others appear bored and disinterested, their faces betraying a look of apathy. Others, however, are fully engaged, their faces reflecting intense interest and concentration. The artist's use of physiognomy, the study of facial features and their relationship to character and temperament, is evident in the way he has depicted each man's unique facial expression. Daumier's mastery of lithography is on full display in this print, with the intricate details of each face and the subtle shading that adds depth and dimension to the image. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of the theatre-going public in 19th century France. It is a reminder of the universal human experience of attending a play and the range of emotions and reactions that can be elicited by a live performance." The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is proud to house this important work in its collection, a testament to the enduring legacy of Honore Daumier and his contributions to the world of art. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, theatre, or the human condition.
