# Honoré Daumier

> He made France laugh at its kings and then jailed him for it. Daumier's caricatures ran in the papers for forty years — sharp, relentless, aimed at everyone from monarchs to lawyers to the bourgeoisie — while his paintings, which his peers quietly revered, went almost entirely unseen until the final months of his life.

## Bio

Daumier came from poverty, working by twelve, learning lithography in his teens and churning out caricatures for satirical sheets after the 1830 Revolution. A cartoon depicting Louis Philippe as Gargantua landed him in jail in 1832; after his release the September Laws muzzled the press and his targets shifted to daily Parisian life and veiled political barbs. He married in 1846, moved to the Île Saint-Louis, and began painting seriously alongside Baudelaire, Corot, and Courbet, though the public ignored the canvases. His cartooning fell out of favor in 1860 and years of debt and obscurity followed, broken by a new contract in 1864. He spent his last decade in Valmondois, eyesight failing, painting Don Quixote again and again, until a pension arrived in 1877 and a Paris exhibition finally brought recognition just before he died in February 1879.
