EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "This Has Killed That, 1871" by Honore Daumier captures a powerful allegorical scene that reflects the political turmoil and devastation caused by the Franco-Prussian war. In this monochrome lithograph, we see a woman pointing towards a voting urn with the word "oui" (yes) floating above it. Surrounding her are lifeless bodies, representing the victims of the conflict that ensued after the 1870 plebiscite. Daumier's artwork masterfully combines art and politics to convey a profound message about the consequences of war. The image serves as a scathing satire on how political decisions can lead to tragic outcomes, symbolized by the corpses strewn across the scene. Through his use of black and white tones in an impressionistic style, Daumier creates an atmosphere of somberness and despair. The composition is both visually striking and thought-provoking, inviting viewers to reflect on the destructive nature of conflicts fueled by political ideologies. "This Has Killed That" stands as a testament to Daumier's artistic genius and his ability to capture complex societal issues through visual storytelling. It serves as a reminder that even in times of progress or change, there are often casualties left in its wake. This iconic piece from Edward T. Chase's collection showcases not only Daumier's talent but also highlights how art can be used as a medium for social commentary throughout history.
