EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Pastorales, plate 2: The Hazards of shaking a plum tree too vigorously (when one is a grown man)" was created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1845. Measuring at 35.6 x 27.3 cm, this print showcases Daumier's exceptional talent and wit. In this whimsical scene, Daumier humorously depicts the consequences of excessive force when shaking a plum tree as an adult. The lithograph portrays a comically exaggerated figure desperately clinging to the branches of the tree while being bombarded with plums falling from above. With impeccable attention to detail and skillful use of shading, Daumier captures both the physical struggle and absurdity of the situation. Daumier's mastery in capturing human expressions shines through in this artwork; he expertly conveys surprise and panic on the face of his protagonist. Through his satirical lens, Daumier playfully comments on human folly and impulsive behavior. As one of France's most celebrated artists during his time, Honore Daumier left an indelible mark on art history with his keen observations and social commentary depicted through lithography. This particular piece exemplifies his ability to blend humor with astute observation. The Liszt Collection proudly presents this remarkable lithograph by Honore Daumier as part of its extensive collection that celebrates artistic excellence throughout history.
