LCR, Daumier has always sought to do in painting, but only in the forty years he first took up the brush when I think that with the February Revolution of 1848 and his invective mission ended.
First, Daumier worked with newspaper lithographs at night to the day given to painting. Then in 1860 he is trying to break his contract with charivari. It was during this period-50-60's, appear one after another of his works in oil and watercolor, the same watercolors, for which he received during his lifetime, and peanuts are now appreciated as you know.
