Garçon, qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?...
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Boy, what's this?...) is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1841. This intriguing piece, titled "Garcon, qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?...," is a witty commentary on the unexpected twists of life. The image portrays a diner, who has been taken aback by the appearance of a chick emerging from his boiled egg. With a quizzical expression, he turns to the waiter, inquiring, "Garçon, qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?..." (Boy, what's this?...). The waiter, seemingly unfazed, is shown in the background, pouring wine from a carafe into a bottle. Daumier's satirical masterpiece offers a humorous take on the situation, as the diner laments that the waiter should have covered the egg, allowing it to hatch and serve the chicken on cress instead. The black and white print, with its stark contrasts, adds to the overall sense of surprise and amusement. This 19th-century artwork, part of the "Types Parisiens" series, showcases Daumier's exceptional talent for capturing the human condition and the absurdities of everyday life. With its timeless humor and clever commentary, "Garçon, qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?..." continues to captivate and delight audiences, making it an essential addition to any art collection or museum display. This lithograph is a testament to Daumier's artistic genius and his ability to find humor in the most unexpected situations. Whether viewed as a commentary on the role of the waiter, the unpredictability of life, or the simple joy of a good surprise, "Garçon, qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?..." remains a captivating and enduring work of art. The print, which is part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, satire, or the simple pleasures of life. With its rich heritage and enduring appeal, "Garçon, qu'est-ce que c'est que ca?..." is a treasure to be savored and celebrated.
