Daumier und sein Paris Kunst und Technik einer Metropole
Daumier and Paris – a combination that summons images of groundbreaking innovations in art, urban planning and technology. Invented in 1796, lithography became the first visual mass medium, and Honoré Daumier (1808-1879) was destined to be the one to lend this technical advance intellectual pungency and artistic weight in his renderings of the current affairs of his day. In his caricatures, Daumier depicted the rampant industrialization of the period and its impact on people's lives with both an exacting eye and a signature sense of humor. In total, he executed some 4,000 prints for the magazines La Caricature and Le Charivari. The catalogue shows a selection of over 200 lithographs that provide a telling tour of the daily life of the 19th-century Paris citizen.
