EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Mari Veut Qu'on Regarde sa Couche... (The Husband Wants to Look at His Beds... 19th century) is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. Created in the 19th century, this black and white print showcases the artist's exceptional talent for caricature and satire. In the image, two men stand before a window, gazing intently at a flower bed. The husband, with a mischievous grin, points to the bed and urges his friend, "Le mari veut qu'on regarde sa couche..." (The husband wants to look at his beds...). The friend, however, seems more interested in the woman tending to the garden, with a look of admiration on his face. The caption below the print reads, "l'ami ne songe a voir que sa femme." (The friend only wants to look at the wife). The scene is set in a quintessential French garden, with an array of colorful flowers and vegetables in the foreground. The cold frame in the background adds to the sense of the passage of time and the changing seasons. The use of contrasting textures, from the rough bark of the tree to the smooth petals of the flowers, adds depth and dimension to the print. Daumier's mastery of the lithographic process is evident in the intricate details and subtle shading. The print is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of human nature and relationships, with a touch of humor and a hint of lechery. This timeless work of art continues to intrigue and delight viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and a commentary on the human condition. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is home to this remarkable piece of heritage art, which is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the works of Honore Daumier.
