EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Honore Daumier, titled "Mr. Colimard, if you continue to look at the dancers in such an inappropriate way" we are transported into a scene of both amusement and tension. The artwork showcases a couple attending a ballet performance at Palais Longchamp in Marseille. The focal point of the image is Mr. Colimard, who appears utterly engrossed in observing the dancers on stage through his binoculars. However, it becomes evident that his gaze is not entirely innocent or respectful as he looks at them inappropriately. This behavior does not go unnoticed by his companion, who stands beside him with an expression of disapproval and jealousy. Daumier's skillful use of caricature adds depth to the narrative portrayed within this print. Through exaggerated facial expressions and body language, he captures the essence of human emotions and societal dynamics prevalent during that era. The artist's attention to detail extends beyond just capturing the characters' physical appearances; it also encompasses their surroundings. The grandeur of Palais Longchamp serves as a backdrop for this dramatic moment between Mr. Colimard and his companion. This engraving invites us to reflect on themes such as voyeurism, gender dynamics, and social etiquette while providing us with a glimpse into 19th-century French society's leisure activities. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly pleasant settings like ballet performances, conflicts can arise due to individual actions or intentions. Overall, Daumier's work continues to captivate viewers with its ability to tell stories through intricate details and nuanced expressions captured within each stroke of his engraving tool.
