Un rappel de chanteuse... 1857
EDITORS COMMENTS
(An Encore of a Singer... 1857) is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This masterpiece, created in 1857 and part of the Croquis dramatiques series, offers a humorous and satirical glimpse into the world of 19th-century theatre. The image portrays a female singer, elegantly dressed in a voluminous, ornate gown, taking a bow on stage. She holds a bouquet of flowers in one hand, as the audience, composed of both men and women, enthusiastically clap and cheer for her. The footlights illuminate the stage, casting a warm, inviting glow. Daumier's use of black and white lithography creates a striking contrast between the rich, detailed costumes and the stark, monochromatic background. The artist's keen sense of humor is evident in the exaggerated expressions of the audience members, their wide eyes and open mouths, as they revel in the performance. The title "Un rappel de chanteuse" translates to "An Encore of a Singer," suggesting that this is not the first time the audience has been captivated by her voice and presence. The scene exudes an air of high comedy, as if the audience is in on a secret, delighting in the theatrical performance unfolding before them. This lithograph is a testament to Daumier's remarkable ability to capture the essence of human emotion and theatricality. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century entertainment, showcasing the fashion, humor, and camaraderie that defined the era. Today, it remains a cherished piece of heritage art, on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, reminding us of the enduring power of live performance and the artistry of those who bring it to life.
