C'est bien parce que c'est votre ami...
EDITORS COMMENTS
(It is because he is your friend, 1845) is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier. This masterpiece, from the series "Les Amis" (The Friends), number 7, offers a humorous insight into the world of business and finance during the 19th century. Daumier's intriguing composition depicts a businessman, surrounded by a pile of financial documents and quills, engaged in a deal with another man. The scene is filled with a sense of urgency and excitement, as the businessman eagerly agrees to let his friend subscribe to the last twenty shares of his newspaper, "The European." The deal is described as "une affaire d'or" (a fantastic deal), and the businessman is confident that his friend will thank him later. The image, with its bold lines and stark contrasts, perfectly captures the essence of the business world during this era. Daumier's use of satire and parody is evident in the exaggerated expressions and gestures of the figures, adding a touch of humor to the scene. This lithograph, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to Daumier's artistic genius and his ability to capture the human condition with wit and insight. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of finance and business during the 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of friendship and the importance of a good deal. Honore Daumier's "C'est bien parce que c'est votre ami..." is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, finance, or the human spirit. Its timeless appeal and relevance to contemporary society make it a true masterpiece.
