EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of leisure and contemplation in the bustling Champs Elysees. Created by the renowned artist Honore Daumier, this illustration titled "Musical sketches: at Champs Elysees, we never knew whether it is music that makes beer pass or beer that makes music swallow" offers a glimpse into French society in 1852. In this scene, a spectator sits attentively while listening to a singer performing on stage. The atmosphere is filled with both sadness and joy as the audience immerses themselves in the melodies. A bottle of beer rests on the table beside them, hinting at the relationship between alcohol and music during that time. Daumier's masterful strokes bring out every detail of this caricature-like drawing. The engraving technique adds depth to each character's expression, emphasizing their emotions and interactions within this social setting. Birds chirping outside provide an interesting contrast to the indoor ambiance. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this timeless artwork through his lens, preserving its historical significance for future generations to appreciate. This print transports us back to 19th-century France, where music intertwined with daily life and alcohol played a role in enhancing or perhaps even drowning out these musical experiences. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and offer glimpses into different eras of human history.
