EDITORS COMMENTS
Un entr'acte, par trente degrés de chaleur," or "Summer Sketch - An intermission, thirty degrees of heat," is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in the 19th century. This antique artwork, now a cherished piece of heritage art, showcases a humorous and satirical depiction of men enduring a sweltering heatwave. The black and white image, reminiscent of a caricature or cartoon, is a monochrome masterpiece that transports us back in time to a hot summer day in France. The title "Un entr'acte" refers to the intermission between acts in a theatre performance, and Daumier cleverly uses this concept to illustrate the relief and idleness that comes with a break from the scorching heat. The figures in the scene are depicted in various stages of discomfort, with some men fanning themselves, others sweating profusely, and a few even dozing off. The artist's use of lettering and text adds to the overall humor, as one man is shown reading a newspaper with the headline "Hot Weather," while another exclaims "Ah! What a heat!" This lithograph, part of a series of summer sketches by Daumier, is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of human experience and the passing of the seasons. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, as well as those who appreciate the wit and humor of a bygone era. On display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., "Un entr'acte, par trente degrés de chaleur" is a timeless piece that continues to delight and amuse viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the universal experience of a hot summer day.
