EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph, we are transported back to the Paris salon of 1863, where a family is seen engrossed in a discussion about Édouard Manet's controversial masterpiece, Olympia. The cartoon, originally published in Charivari magazine on June 19th, 1865, captures the essence of the era's art criticism. The scene depicts a group of visitors standing before Manet's provocative painting. A man and woman can be seen engaged in conversation while observing Olympia reclining on her bed. Puzzled expressions adorn their faces as they attempt to decipher the meaning behind this audacious artwork. The caption adds an element of humor to the image as one member of the family questions why a "fat red woman" dressed in nightwear would bear such an illustrious name like Olympia. In response, another suggests that perhaps it refers to the black cat lurking nearby. This caricature not only reflects public sentiment towards modern art during that time but also highlights society's struggle with accepting unconventional artistic representations. It serves as a reminder that even renowned masterpieces faced initial skepticism and sparked heated debates among critics and viewers alike. As we gaze upon this historical print from Daumier's collection held privately today, we are reminded of how art has always been subject to interpretation and debate – its power lying within its ability to evoke emotions and provoke thought for generations to come.
