Le Régisseur
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "The Director" is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1856. This intriguing black and white image portrays a director, with a serious expression, standing center stage with his hands clasped and gesturing towards an unseen actress. The title of the work, "Voyons, mademoiselle, faites sonner les RRR...", translates to "Come, mademoiselle, make the R's sound...". Daumier's use of dramatic lighting and the director's intense gaze create an atmosphere of anticipation and focus. The director's posture and the way he clutches his hands together suggest a deep connection to the traditions of the theater and his role in bringing a production to life. The director's words, "les bons traditions se perdent...de mon temps, au Conservatoire, on etait parvenu a nous faire vibrer, meme en prononcant le mot navet!" ("the great traditions are being lost...in my time, at the Conservatoire, they managed to make us vibrate, even in pronouncing the word swede!") add a layer of satire and commentary on the importance of preserving the arts and the power of performance. This lithograph is a testament to Daumier's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the essence of the theatrical experience. It is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th century art, and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of acting and theater. This image is part of the Croquis dramatiques, no. 5 collection, and is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the performing arts and the enduring power of live performance.
