EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a series of caricatures on the purse of renowned French artist Honore Daumier. Titled "On the purse, What is called a basket, no flowers in any case" this artwork was originally published in the satirical magazine "Charivari" in 1856. The image depicts a crowd gathered around a businessman, symbolizing the capital sin of avarice. Daumier's masterful engraving skillfully portrays the greed and miserliness prevalent in society during that time. The intricate details showcase his keen observation and ability to capture human behavior through art. The composition not only serves as social commentary but also highlights Daumier's wit and humor. Through this piece, he criticizes those who prioritize material wealth over more meaningful aspects of life such as love or beauty - represented by the absence of flowers in the basket. Leonard de Selva beautifully photographs this historical artwork, allowing us to appreciate its significance even today. This print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into France's cultural history while contemplating themes that remain relevant across generations. As we gaze upon this intriguing image, we are reminded of Daumier's enduring legacy as one of France's most celebrated artists. His work continues to inspire reflection on societal values and serves as a testament to art's power to provoke thought and spark conversation.
