Honoré Daumier

With a sharp quill and incorruptible humor, Honoré Daumier describes the situation in post-revolutionary France in the 19th century. He holds up a mirror to his time, denouncing abuse of power and social injustices. His relentless criticism repeatedly brought him into conflict with the censors, and he even went to prison for the freedom of art. As a keen observer, Daumier also depicted everyday life in the modern metropolis of Paris. His art is timelessly relevant.
