Daumier's fame and notoriety arose from the satirical portraits of political figures that he drew for French newspapers and magazines during the 1830s. But his paintings were equally powerful -- that of Don Quixote is a tragi-comic masterpiece -- and no less influential.
This definitive book presents Daumier's drawings, paintings, sculptures and lithographs, along with an insightful text by the distinguished French art historian Pierre Cabanne, and a comprehensive collection of notes, details and important background research.
