DAUMIER AND OLIPHANT, MASTERS OF POLITICAL SATIRE, ON VIEW AT THE PHILLIPS THROUGH INAUGURATION 2013
WHAT: Political Wits, 100 Years Apart: Daumier and Oliphant at the Phillips
Art thumbs its nose at politics in this election-inspired gallery, featuring works by Honoré Daumier (French, 1808–79) and Patrick Oliphant (Australian, b. 1935) from the museum's permanent collection.
A master of caricature and satire, Daumier so lampooned King Louis-Philippe that the artist was charged with sedition and imprisoned for six months in 1832. Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist Oliphant—whose work has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery and the Library of Congress and published in the New Yorker, New York Times, and Washington Post—had a deep and longstanding admiration of Daumier. During a Daumier retrospective at the Phillips in 2000, Oliphant produced a lithograph inspired by the exhibition and proclaimed in his Washington Post review, "Monsieur Daumier, you certainly are a humbler."
