Il est devenu pro-pri-é-taire!
EDITORS COMMENTS
, a captivating lithograph by the renowned 19th century French artist Honore Daumier, offers a humorous commentary on the societal expectations and aspirations of the bourgeoisie class during this period. The image depicts a mother proudly announcing to her son, "He has become a prop-er-ty-own-er!" as she points to a well-dressed man, wearing a top hat and carrying a cane, who is conversing with the concierge inside a grand building. The black and white lithograph, reminiscent of the 19th century, is a testament to the era's fashion trends, with the mother and son dressed in elegant clothing, and the man in the foreground donning a fashionable top hat. The interior of the building, with its ornate details and furnishings, further emphasizes the wealth and status of the subjects. Daumier's use of satire and parody is evident in the exaggerated expressions and body language of the mother and the man, adding a layer of humor to the scene. The artist's keen observation of human behavior and societal norms is evident in this thought-provoking work of art. This lithograph is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on the 19th century, caricature, or satire. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is one such institution that holds a significant collection of Honore Daumier's works, including this iconic piece. Il est devenu pro-pri-é-taire! is a poignant commentary on the societal pressures to accumulate wealth and property, and the role of family in shaping one's aspirations. The image remains relevant even today, as we continue to grapple with similar societal expectations and the impact they have on our lives.
