After 1840, Honoré Daumier (France, 1808–1879) made numerous prints for the popular press that deal with art theory,the public reception of painting, and the performing arts. With sharp wit and a keen understanding of the complexities of modern life, Daumier turned his critical eye on the artists, musicians, dancers, and singers in the spotlight as well as their audience in these insightful and charming images. This installation contains roughly 16 prints and one drawing, all by Daumier.
