Art Lovers, 1863-1869. Creator: Honore Daumier (French, 1808-1879)
Art Lovers, 1863-1869. Daumiers witty pictures of contemporary types included several drawings, prints, and paintings in which he explored a theme he knew well: collectors and other viewers perusing art works. Sometimes he caricatured his subjects greediness, smugness, or stupidity, but in this example the three men seem to study the objects with sincere appreciation

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Art Lovers, 1863-1869" captures a moment in time when three men immerse themselves in the world of art. Created by Honore Daumier, a renowned French artist from the 19th century, this artwork showcases his wit and keen observation of human behavior. Daumier's collection of drawings, prints, and paintings often depicted collectors and viewers exploring various artworks. While he sometimes portrayed their greediness or smugness, this particular piece shows the three men engrossed in sincere appreciation for the objects before them. In shades of gray and black wash with watercolor accents, Daumier masterfully brings these characters to life. Their expressions reveal genuine curiosity as they study each detail with great care. It is evident that these individuals are true art lovers who find joy in immersing themselves within the realm of creativity. This image serves as a testament to Daumier's ability to capture not only physical features but also emotions and personalities through his artistic skills. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a time when art was cherished and celebrated by those who truly understood its value. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art under Heritage Art/Heritage Images' ownership rights (not affiliated with any commercial use), this photograph allows us to appreciate both Daumier's talent and the timeless allure of art itself.
