EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Purchase of a clock picture," is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in the 19th century. This masterpiece, now held in the prestigious collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., brilliantly captures the essence of the bourgeoisie class and their fascination with timepieces. The monochromatic image, reminiscent of a bygone era, portrays a jubilant bourgeois man, his face beaming with inexpressible joy as he listens to the chiming tocsin from a clock tower. The man's expression is a testament to the profound satisfaction derived from owning a prized timepiece, an essential status symbol of the era. Daumier's masterful use of satire and parody is evident in the caricatured depiction of the man's exaggerated features and the comically oversized clock picture he clutches. The artist's keen observation of the social class dynamics of the time is further emphasized by the inclusion of other men in the background, their expressions varying from envy and longing to indifference. The intricate details of the clock tower, with its ornate design and intricate gears, serve as a reminder of the intricacies of time and the human obsession with measuring it. The contrast between the black and white tones adds a sense of depth and texture to the image, further enhancing its visual appeal. This lithograph, with its humorous yet insightful commentary on the bourgeoisie's fascination with time and the social dynamics of the time, remains a fascinating glimpse into the past and a testament to Daumier's artistic genius.
