GALLERY - COMMENTED ART
Daumier primarily worked as an illustrator for newspapers and magazines, creating political and social caricatures that often critiqued the French government and society of the time.
He also produced a series of paintings, many of which depict the daily lives of Parisians and workers.
Mother - Well ahead of its time, the motherhood represented here is pure expressionism 50 years before the official emergence of this movement.
The Collector - Daumier produced high-finish watercolors like this one to attract a growing market of bourgeois collectors.
Third-class Carriage - The impact of industrialization and urbanization on the working class of Paris had a significant effect on the artist, becoming a recurring theme in his work.
Don Quixote and Sancho Panza - This painting depicts the relationship between the knight-errant and his faithful squire.
An Artist (self-portrait) - This painting is an example of Daumier's ability to portray himself and his contemporaries.
Daumier passed away on February 10, 1879, after suffering a paralytic stroke, leaving many unfinished paintings behind.
His works are found in museum collections around the world, and his legacy remains relevant to those seeking to understand the cultural and political history of France.
