EDITORS COMMENTS
11 heures du matin, 1839" (Eleven O'Clock in the Morning, 1839) is a captivating monochrome lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. Created during the 19th century, this masterpiece is a testament to Daumier's exceptional artistic talent and his keen sense of humor. The image portrays a group of men, each deep in thought, seated at a long table. The scene is set in a dimly lit room, with the sun casting long shadows through the window. The men, dressed in the fashion of the time, are engrossed in their individual pursuits, oblivious to the world around them. In the foreground, a man with a thoughtful expression looks up from his paper, while a dog sits at his feet, gazing intently at him. Another man, with a quizzical expression, stares at a dog that seems to be barking at an invisible foe. Daumier's use of crayon lithography in black on wove paper adds to the depth and texture of the image, enhancing the contrast between light and shadow. The artist's mastery of this technique is evident in the intricate details of the figures and the subtle shading that brings the scene to life. This work, titled "Singles' Day" or "La Journee du Celibataire," is a caricature that pokes fun at the solitary pursuits of the bachelors, who are depicted as absorbed in their own worlds. The title "Eleven O'Clock in the Morning" suggests a sense of routine and predictability in their daily lives. Today, "11 heures du matin, 1839" is a cherished piece of artistic heritage, showcased in prestigious galleries and museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This iconic work continues to captivate audiences with its timeless depiction of human nature and the universal theme of solitude.
