EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the striking "Bust of Hippolyte Abraham, known as Abraham-Dubois" created by the renowned artist Honore Daumier in 1833. The bronze sculpture stands at a modest size of 20x20 cm and is currently housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Marseille, France. The subject of this portrait is none other than Hippolyte Abraham-Dubois himself, a prominent French magistrate and deputy during his time. However, what immediately catches the eye is not his professional accomplishments but rather his physical appearance. Dubois's obesity is emphasized through Daumier's meticulous attention to detail, showcasing every fold and curve of his ample frame. While some may view Dubois's weight as unflattering or even grotesque, it serves as an honest portrayal that challenges societal beauty standards. This unconventional representation highlights Daumier's ability to capture not only physical attributes but also deeper aspects of human nature. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are reminded that art has the power to transcend time and evoke emotions within us. It prompts us to reflect on our own perceptions of beauty while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship behind this thought-provoking piece.
