Marie!...Marie!...elle me trompe
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Marie!...Marie!...she's deceiving me...) is a poignant and humorous lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1838. This work of art is part of the series "Croquis d'expression," plate 43, and is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Daumier masterfully captures the essence of human emotion in this black and white print. The image depicts a man, possibly middle-aged, with a distraught expression as he gestures towards a letter in his hand. His face is contorted with a mix of sadness, anger, and disbelief. The title of the work, "Marie!...Marie!...elle me trompe," hints at the man's discovery of his lover's infidelity. The man's hand gestures add to the satirical and humorous tone of the piece. His index finger points accusingly at the letter, while his other hand clutches it protectively. The exaggerated hand gestures and facial expression are reminiscent of the comic strips and cartoons that would become popular in the late 19th and 20th centuries. Despite the man's obvious upset, there is a certain humor in the way Daumier has depicted the scene. The man's exaggerated gestures and the title's playful repetition of "Marie" add a lighthearted touch to an otherwise heavy subject. This print is a testament to Daumier's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the complexities of human emotion. It is a poignant reminder of the universal experience of heartbreak and the power of art to express and explore the human condition. The "Marie!...Marie!...elle me trompe" lithograph is a valuable addition to the collection at LACMA and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the human experience. It is a reminder of the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and provoke thought, even after more than 180 years.
