Honoré Daumier - Die Sammlung Hellwig

In the organizer's words:

Feared and loved - the artist Honoré Daumier (1808-1879) is one of France's greatest illustrators. As a precise observer and controversial contemporary, he made a name for himself in 19th century political Paris with his caricatures, which he created for the newspapers "La Caricature" and "Le Charivari". He thus became the conscience of an era characterized by social and political upheaval and profound change.
