Two washer women walk along the steet, burdened with a heavy load.
One warns, "Look out, here comes another one of those damned
bicycles. To which the other replies, "Don't say that on Sunday"
"The years around the turn of the century in Paris were the great
periods of the 'artist-reporter' those painters who found their inspiration
in the events of every-day life. One of the very greatest of these
was Steinlen. With an eye for movement and gesture, with the ability
to translate the scenes of the cafes, bars and street corners into
pictorial composition, in his drawings he created a pattern of expressive
shape, swift shading and telling details of facial expression which
is redolent with the whole atmosphere of the period... During the
1880's his frequent illustrations for 'Le
Rire' and 'Gil Blas' made him amongst the best known artists of
his generation. Much of his strength and effectiveness of his work
derives from the fact that, like Daumier, he was able to combine a
clear sense of style with humour and social understanding " (Weston
No.5 1984, 28) |
