 Online NewsHour: Honore Daumier-April 25, 2000
Daumier mocked those in power, mostly in lithographs for the newspaper "le charivari." Even his boss, activist publisher Charles Philipon, was the subject of caricature.
ELIZA RATHBONE: Daumier is giving us what he would have seen right there in the streets, the street just packed with people, and the drama of this leader, who the others are riveted by and going to follow.
Daumier kept trying to capture, quietly, the collector looking quietly at art; the inspired artist, lit up by an unknown source; the weight of being poor, which the struggling Daumier and his large family knew firsthand; the silhouetted, windswept anonymity of being a refugee.

 Honoré Daumier (Getty Museum)
The Parisian public rightly admired Honoré Daumier as the newspaper caricaturist who so perceptively skewered their daily lives, but they never accepted him as a painter.
Daumier died blind and a pauper without ever having received a painting commission.
Daumier's paintings were made mostly between 1855 and 1870, when his work for Le Charivari was slow and before he lost his sight.

Honoré Daumier's career was one of the most unusual in the history of nineteenth-century art.
Daumier was born in Marseille in 1808, the son of an eccentric glazier and frame maker with highflown poetic ambitions.
Daumier's sculpture apparently influenced the Belgian nineteenth-century sculptor Constantin Meunier (1831-1905) and possibly Henri Matisse (1869-1935) in its sense of apparent scale, despite its small size, and in its capacity to suggest the epic or monumental quality in modern life, whether in modern dress or in ideal nudity.

 Honoré Daumier
Having mastered the technique of lithography, Daumier started his artistic career by producing plates for music publishers, and illustrations for advertisements; these were followed by anonymous work for publishers, in which he followed the style of Charlet and displayed considerable enthusiasm for the Napoleonic legend.
For this journal Daumier produced his famous social caricatures, in which bourgeois society is held up to ridicule in the figure of Robert Macaire, the hero of a then popular melodrama.
At the time of this exhibition Daumier, totally blind, was living in a cottage at Valmondois, which was placed at his disposal by Corot, and where he breathed his last in 1879.

But as a painter, Daumier, one of the pioneers of naturalism, did not meet with success until a year before his death in 1878, when M. Durand Ruel collected his works for exhibition at his galleries and demonstrated the range of the talent of the man who has been called the "Michelangelo of caricature".

 Honoré Daumier: public & private by Karen Wilkin   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Daumier continued to publish images fiercely critical of contemporary French society, displaying sinister physicians, threatening judges, brutal butchers, unlovely matrons, and more to his fellow Parisians, as though serving as the city’s self-appointed conscience.
Yet for the most part, Daumier’s drawings (as opposed to his published works) remained unknown to twentieth-century audiences; the exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was the first to focus on his works on paper—in chalk, charcoal, conté crayon, ink, and watercolor—apart from his caricatures.
Known as essentially a commercial artist lacking academic training, Daumier nonetheless seems to have longed for the dignity and presumed seriousness of the academic artist; drawing was a principal tool in his ceaseless effort to bring his skill up to what he perceived as that exalted level.

 UCLA Hammer Museum: Armand Hammer Daumier and Contemporaries Collection
Daumier was born in Marseilles on February 26, 1808.
Because their prints were often political in nature, Daumier and Philipon had to deal with the government’s sensitivity to their images and with the laws governing the press, which changed with each regime (see the timeline for more details).
Daumier, Aubert, and Hippolyte Delaporte, the printer, were brought to trial in February 1832 and found guilty of lèse-majesté (the crime of violating the dignity of a sovereign ruler).

Honoré Daumier (1808-1879) lived and worked at a time of extraordinary social and political change in France.

 Painter/Artist: Honore Daumier (1808-79)
Daumier's reputation as a caricaturist obscured his standing as a painter during his lifetime, and it has only been posthumous study of his works that has properly related him to the development of modern French painting.
Interesting in this regard are the various drawings, paintings and lithographs which Daumier produced on the subject of railroad travel, that outstanding contribution to the habits of the industrial age.
Daumier's technique in painting is a brusque one of interplay rather than congruency of mass and outlined silhouette, of dark streaking lines competing with strong color areas that are built up in glazes.

The greatest visual urban poet is Honore Daumier (1808-79) whose career in Paris, the crucible of politics and taste in the nineteenth century, spanned several upheavals in government and in fashion.
Of course, Daumier is mostly renowned for the nearly 4,000, largely political, lithographic caricatures he made for two weekly newspapers on and off to the end of his life, starting in 1832.
It's true, too, that Daumier wished ardently to be considered a painter as well as a caricaturist but that he never attained that kind of esteem.

 Daily Lush Magazine: "The Four Ages" by Honoré Daumier   (Site not responding. Last check: )
It makes sense that any profession that has such a passion for liquor would make the water of life the subject of their art — and so it is. Drinkers, and their drinks, must rank as one of the great themes in the fine arts.
This piece is the inspiration for an 1890 painting by Vincent Van Gogh entitled "The Drinkers." In a pair of letters to his brother Theo, Van Gogh wrote, “I do not hesitate to do copies...
It is impressive to see how closely Van Gogh's "The Drinkers" recreates Daumier’s "Les Quatre Ages." Van Gogh has expertly captured Daumier's four figures, arched over a simple table, faces buried in their drinks.

Biography: Honoré Daumier was eight years old when his father, a glazier and frame maker who had decided to pursue his poetic talents in Paris, sent for the wife and three sons he lad left behind in Marseilles.
Daumier's antimonarchist and liberal subjects that were printed in this paper eventually cost the journal censorship and the artist six months in jail (31 August 1832 to 14 February 1833) plus a 300-franc fine.
Although Daumier may be best known for his graphic art, he was also a sculptor and a prolific painter.
