EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "A true smoker" is part of the series Galerie physionomique created by Honore Daumier in 1836. The print captures a satirical scene, depicting a male figure seated indoors, fully engrossed in his smoking ritual. With a pipe in one hand and a wine glass in the other, he pours himself another drink from an open bottle nearby. Daumier's caricature style is evident as he exaggerates the man's features to create a humorous effect. The cartoonish portrayal adds to the satire of this piece, highlighting societal attitudes towards smoking during that era. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line and stroke brings life to this comical character. From his facial expression to his posture, we can almost sense the pleasure he derives from indulging in these vices. Through this artwork, Daumier offers commentary on both physiognomy and social norms of the time. This lithograph was printed by Imprimerie chez Aubert and belongs to Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and continue to evoke emotions centuries later. It invites us into an amusing world where satire meets reality—a world where even something as mundane as smoking becomes fodder for artistic exploration.
