Tiens, ma femme, v'là mon portrait au Daguerreotype... 1846
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Here you are, wife, my Daguerreotype portrait that I've brought you from Paris... Why didn't you also have yours done while you were there? You're so selfish!) is a satirical lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, created in 1846. This humorous print depicts a husband proudly presenting a Daguerreotype portrait of himself to his wife, while she expresses her displeasure and jealousy that he didn't get her one made as well. Daguerreotype was a revolutionary new photographic process that had recently been introduced in France, and Daumier masterfully captures the excitement and novelty of this new technology, as well as the potential for jealousy and rivalry it could engender within a marriage. The black and white image, with its stark contrasts and intricate details, showcases Daumier's exceptional skill as a lithographer. This print is part of a series called "Les Bons bourgeois" (The Good Bourgeois) and reflects the artist's keen observation of the social and cultural nuances of his time. The print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of Daumier's work, which continues to resonate with audiences today. The print's timeless themes of family, marriage, and technology make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the human condition.
