Honore Daumier - Paintings

Honoré Daumier is rated as the best-known French painter and caricaturist of Realism. In addition to 4000 lithographs, he also produced 500 paintings.
Born: 26 February 1808 in Marseille
Died: 11 February 1879 in Valmondois
While Honoré Daumier has earned a worldwide reputation as a caricaturist, and his painting work remains rather secondary. Like many of his fellow art colleagues who belong to the school of Barbizon, Daumier criticizes the regime and the bourgeoisie of the 19th century, which idealizes it all. Inspired by Goya’s Capriccios and the English caricaturists, he helps this genre towards a totally new independency from captions. Around the year 1848, censorial impositions complicate his regime-critical drawings so that he gets more into oil painting. Inspired by the subject matters of his fellow art friends, Daumier increasingly paints the suffering working people, who just as Don Quixote fight against the mass handling of the increasing industrialization, leaving them devoid of meaning.
