EDITORS COMMENTS
Se posant en appréciateur" (Posing as an Appreciator) is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in the 19th century. This masterpiece, dated back to 1852, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and the evolution of art during that era. The black and white image, reminiscent of an antique photograph, depicts a scene from a Parisian art gallery or opera house, where several men, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, are engrossed in the artworks displayed before them. Daumier, a master of caricature and satire, captures the essence of the audience's engagement with art in this era. The men are depicted with binoculars and opera glasses, intently studying the details of the paintings, their expressions conveying a range of emotions from admiration to confusion. The artist's use of monochrome, with its subtle shades of grey, adds to the overall mood of the image, which is both humorous and thought-provoking. The title of the work, "Se posant en appréciateur," translates to "Posing as an Appreciator," suggesting that Daumier may be poking fun at the notion of feigned appreciation for art. The lettering on the image, with its ornate and decorative style, further adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the piece. This lithograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of Parisians during the 19th century and their relationship with art and culture. This work is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of art to captivate and inspire. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is one of the many prestigious institutions that have recognized the significance of this work and have included it in their permanent collection. "Se posant en appréciateur" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the evolution of the art audience.
