EDITORS COMMENTS
Les Intrépides" by Honore Daumier, a captivating lithograph from the 1830s, published in the popular French periodical "Le Charivari" on July 31, 1834. This masterpiece by the renowned French artist, Victorin Honore Daumier, showcases a humorous take on the armed forces during the 19th century. The image depicts a group of soldiers huddled under umbrellas, attempting to keep dry in the pouring rain. Their military uniforms, complete with accoutrements and accessories, are a sight to behold. Daumier's satirical touch is evident in the exaggerated proportions and expressions of the soldiers, adding a layer of humor to the scene. The title "Les Intrépides," which translates to "The Intrepids," is a nod to the bravery and determination of the soldiers, despite the challenging weather conditions. The rain, a common obstacle in military life, is depicted as an amusing inconvenience rather than a threat. This lithograph is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of France during the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the daily lives of soldiers during this period and showcases Daumier's exceptional talent for capturing the human condition with humor and insight. The black and white composition adds to the timeless quality of the piece, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or museum. The intricate details and satirical undertones make "Les Intrépides" a fascinating and engaging work of art that continues to captivate viewers to this day. This lithograph is part of the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and is a reminder of the rich artistic history that continues to inspire and influence contemporary art and culture.
