EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Exposition 1859, no. 5: I passed!, 1859" captures a moment of both humor and irony in the world of art. Created by Honore Daumier, this lithograph measures 22.5x27.8 cm and is housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. In this satirical artwork, Daumier portrays a scene from an exhibition where artists eagerly await their fate. The cartoon-like depiction shows a group of men anxiously gathered around a notice board displaying the results. Amongst them stands one man with an expression of triumph on his face - he has "passed!". The artist cleverly highlights the contrast between success and failure as other rejected artists look on with disappointment. Daumier's caricature not only pokes fun at the rejection faced by many artists but also comments on society's obsession with winners and losers. Through his sharp wit and skillful engraving techniques, he invites viewers to reflect upon the subjective nature of artistic judgment within prestigious salons. This piece serves as a reminder that even though rejection may be disheartening for some, it does not define one's talent or worth as an artist. It encourages us to question societal standards while appreciating the power of satire in exposing these truths. With its historical significance and timeless message, "Exposition 1859, no. 5: I passed!, 1859" continues to captivate audiences today through its blend of art
