EDITORS COMMENTS
or "This is the moment - after midnight - when calm and peace truly reign," is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier in 1840. This masterpiece is part of Daumier's "Moeurs conjugales" series and was first published in the French satirical magazine "Le Charivari." The image depicts a peaceful scene in a country bedroom, where a father is soundly asleep in bed, cradling his young son. His wife, also asleep, lies beside him, with a contented smile on her face. A cat curled up at the foot of the bed completes the idyllic tableau. The title, "Better late than never," suggests that even if the parents are late in returning home, the joy of family life and the tranquility it brings is worth the wait. Daumier's use of black and white in this lithograph adds to the timeless and nostalgic quality of the image. The artist's keen observation of human behavior and his ability to capture the essence of family life with humor and warmth make this piece a beloved classic in the annals of 19th-century art. This lithograph is a testament to the universal themes of family, love, and the simple pleasures of home life. It is a reminder that even in the midst of a busy world, there is a moment of peace and calm that can be found in the embrace of loved ones. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is fortunate to have this precious work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate Daumier's artistry and the enduring beauty of the human experience.
