"Daumier"
1999-10-08 until 2000-01-02
Musee d'Orsay
Paris, ,
FR France
Daumier remains one of the most popular artists in his
century : everybody knows the pot-bellied bourgeois,
the shady lawyers, King Louis-Philippe in the shape of
a pear or Ratapoil, the imperial grass of his caricatures.
He is also famous as the sculptor of busts of
parliamentarians. Yet his being one of the greatest
painters and draughtsmen of his time is less well-known
: the man's discretion and the scattering of his work
throughout the world went against him. Baudelaire,
Delacroix, Degas and Picasso all admired him, and this
retrospective should show the reason why.
