Honoré Daumier – a tribute by Anne Finlay
From 1 to 30 NovHonoré Daumier‘s drawings “speak” to us – conveying powerful caricatures of life’s moments and its people. In hundreds of drawings he captures situations, emotions and events which were relevant in the 19th century and are still wonderfully relevant today.
By copying his drawings, Anne Finlay likes to think she is prolonging his wealth of satire and amusement to a new audience.
This exhibition accompanies a Talk by author Jérôme Chantreau on Thursday 12 November, exploring his book L’Affaire de la rue Transnonain and the inspiration drawn from Honoré Daumier’s depictions of killings during the Paris riots.
