Huit degrés au-dessous de zéro
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Eight degrees above zero), created by Honore Daumier in 1847, is a captivating lithograph from the series "Les Bons bourgeois" (The Good Bourgeois). This humorous and satirical artwork showcases the struggles of a husband and wife braving the harsh winter weather. The image depicts a man, bundled up in a top hat, overcoat, and a fur muff, trudging through the snow with a determined look on his face. His wife, also dressed in winter attire, follows closely behind, her expression revealing a mix of annoyance and amusement. The title of the piece refers to the temperature just above freezing, highlighting the frigid conditions they are enduring. Daumier, a renowned French artist, masterfully captures the essence of country life and the challenges of marriage during this time. The black and white lithotint, with its intricate details and subtle contrasts, adds to the overall mood and atmosphere of the scene. The artwork is a testament to the enduring spirit of the human condition, as well as a commentary on the fashion and accessories of the 19th century. This piece is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. The artwork's timeless humor and insight into the human experience make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the rich heritage of French culture.
