EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1857. This intriguing work of art, titled "La Princesse" from the series "Croquis dramatiques, no. 13," showcases the artist's exceptional talent for satire and parody. In this black-and-white image, we see a woman, presumably an actress, lying on the stage in a theatrical pose, with an exasperated expression on her face. She appears to be playing dead, yet her annoyance is palpable as she whispers a reprimand to an unseen man, urging him to wrap up his monologue and join her for supper. The man's prolonged speech has kept her waiting, and her patience is wearing thin. Daumier masterfully captures the essence of the theatrical world, poking fun at the drama both on and off the stage. The use of contrasting whites and blacks in the lithograph adds depth and dimension, enhancing the overall impact of the image. The Princess's determined expression and the subtle humor in the scene make this a truly engaging and entertaining work of art. This lithograph is a testament to Daumier's skill as a satirical artist, showcasing his ability to capture the human condition in all its complexity. The image invites us to reflect on the nature of performance, both on stage and in life, and the importance of finding balance between art and practicality. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is proud to house this remarkable piece in its collection, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of France during the 19th century. This work of art continues to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the power of humor and the enduring allure of the theater.
