EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Disadvantage of having an umbrella with a complicated spring system" captures the humorous side of everyday struggles. Created by Honore Daumier in 1847, this artwork is part of the series "Tout ce qu'on voudra" (As you like it). In the image, we see a frustrated couple caught in a heavy rainstorm on the streets of Paris. The man, wearing a top hat, and his wife, donning a bonnet, are desperately trying to shield themselves from the pouring rain using an umbrella with an overly complex spring mechanism. However, instead of providing protection from the elements, their umbrella seems to be falling apart. Daumier's caricature-like style adds to the satirical nature of this piece. The artist skillfully portrays their expressions as grumpy and cross due to their unsuccessful attempts at staying dry. This comical scene serves as a reminder that even seemingly simple objects can sometimes bring more trouble than relief. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris - Musee Carnavalet in France, this print showcases Daumier's talent for capturing everyday life moments with wit and charm. It invites viewers to reflect on how even small inconveniences can lead to frustration and humorously highlights our shared experiences during bad weather conditions.
