EDITORS COMMENTS
11 heures du matin, 1839" is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, showcasing the humorous and satirical side of everyday life. In this piece, titled "Monsieur Coquelet, wanting to offer a bouquet of violets to Mademoiselle Palissandre, reproaches himself for this lavishness: and washing his handkerchief with his own hands, he reassures his conscience, by means of this economy," we find ourselves in the world of "La Journee du Celibataire." The scene is set in black and white, with intricate details that transport us back to the 19th century. At the center, we see a bachelor, Monsieur Coquelet, standing in front of a woman, Mademoiselle Palissandre, holding a bouquet of violets. The extravagance of his gesture is evident, as he reaches out to offer the flowers. However, his expression reveals a sense of regret and self-reproach. To the side, we see a top-hatted man, likely Coquelet himself, washing his handkerchief with great care. This act of economy is a stark contrast to his earlier impulse to buy the violets. The presence of a dog at his feet adds to the whimsical and humorous tone of the piece. The attention to detail in Daumier's work is evident in the textures of the clothing, the folds of the hat, and the expressions on the faces of the characters. This satirical work is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the nuances of human behavior and emotion. "11 heures du matin, 1839" is a valuable addition to any art collection, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of France. It is a testament to Daumier's skill as a parodist and his ability to find humor in the ordinary. This piece is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, satire, or the human condition. The LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) is proud to house this masterpiece in its collection, allowing future generations to appreciate the wit and wisdom of Honore Daumier.
