EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Charles-Guillaume Etienne, a renowned statesman and playwright of his time. Honore Daumier's bronze caricature stands at a height of 16 cm, showcasing his incredible attention to detail. The Musee des Beaux-Arts in Marseille, France proudly displays this satirical masterpiece. Etienne's larger-than-life personality is brilliantly portrayed through this artwork. His vanity and pompous nature are evident as he gazes into the distance with an air of arrogance. The artist skillfully exaggerates his features, creating a grotesque yet humorous representation. As a politician, Etienne was known for his wit and sharp tongue. This caricature perfectly encapsulates his satirical approach to politics, highlighting both his intelligence and playfulness. It serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power can be subject to ridicule. Daumier's work not only showcases the artist's talent but also provides insight into the political climate of the time. Through this portrait, we catch a glimpse of the complexities behind Etienne's public persona - an individual who was simultaneously admired and mocked for his theatricality. Jean Bernard expertly captures every nuance in this photograph print, allowing viewers to appreciate Daumier’s genius from afar. This image is a testament to timeless artistry that continues to captivate audiences today without commercial intentions or restrictions on its use
