EDITORS COMMENTS
Honore Daumier's lithograph "Les Spectateurs de l'orchestre" (The Audience at the Orchestra, 1864) captures the lively and humorous atmosphere of a music hall performance during the 19th century. In this black and white image, published in the French satirical weekly magazine Le Charivari, Daumier masterfully depicts an audience in the front stalls of a theater, all engrossed in the performance and expressing their delight and amusement. The title of the work, "Il y a de jolies jambes...tous satisfaits!" (There are some lovely legs...everyone's happy!), adds to the playful and lighthearted tone of the piece. The audience members, dressed in fashionable clothing of the time, are shown with various facial expressions, some with wide grins, others with raised eyebrows, and some with their eyes closed in pure enjoyment. The men wear top hats and other formal attire, while the women don elegant dresses and parasols. The artist's keen observation and sense of humor are evident in the way he has depicted the legs of some of the audience members, which are prominently displayed, adding to the overall sense of fun and merriment. This lithograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of live performance and the human experience of being entertained. It is a valuable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), which holds a significant number of works by Honore Daumier, and is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of France during the 19th century.
