O Douleur!...avoir rêvé...un époux
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Oh Misery!...having dreamed...of a husband), is a poignant and humorous lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1844. This work of art, part of the series "Les Bas-bleus," depicts a frustrated wife sitting on the bank of a serene river, holding a book and an angler's rod, while casting a disapproving glance towards her husband, who is shown happily fishing nearby. The title of the print reveals the woman's inner turmoil. She had long cherished the dream of a husband who shared her love for poetry and the arts, only to find herself married to a man who preferred gudgeons, or fish with large heads, over the sublime beauty of poetry. Daumier masterfully captures the essence of gender inequality and the disappointment that often accompanies unmet expectations in marriage. The black-and-white image, reminiscent of the 19th century, is filled with satire and humor. The contrast between the woman's elegant attire and her husband's simple fisherman's garb, as well as the peaceful riverbank setting, adds to the irony of the situation. The print is a testament to the enduring themes of love, marriage, and the pursuit of happiness, as well as the artist's keen observation of human nature and social issues. This work of art, now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, gender studies, and the human condition. It invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of relationships and the importance of shared values and interests in building a fulfilling life together.
