1808-1879. French artist. His sharply
dramatic and satirical cartoons dissected
Parisian society. His produced over 4,000
lithographs and, mainly after 1860, powerful
satirical oil paintings that were little
appreciated in his lifetime. Daumier drew for
La Caricature, Charivari, and other
periodicals. He created several fictitious
stereotypes of contemporary figures and was
once imprisoned for an attack on Louis
Philippe. His paintings show a fluent
technique and mainly monochrome palette. He
also produced sculptures of his caricatures,
such as the bronze statuette of Ratapoil
about 1850 (Louvre, Paris).
