Title: Physionomies Tragiques [&] Physionomie Tragico-Classique [&] la Tragedie
Description: Paris: Chez Aubert & Cie. 1841. Daumier also felt the time was ripe to revive Greek tragedy, but in a somewhat unexpected way" DAUMIER, Honoré. Physionomies Tragiques [&] Physionomie Tragico-Classique [&] La Tragedie. Paris: [1851], 1841, 1848. Oblong folio (10 x 13 1/4 inches; 254 x 336 mm.). Thirty fine lithographs complete, including nine which are hand colored. All plates mounted on stubs. Plate #10 from Physionomies Tragiques is supplied as an original leaf from Le Charivari. Plate #7 from Physionomie Tragico-Classique is supplied both in color and black & white. Modern quarter brown calf over marbled boards, spine with four raised bands lettered in gilt in compartments. Some light, mainly marginal foxing to a few plates. Very scarce - especially the hand colored plates. Physionomies Tragiques. (Tragic Physiognomies) is a series of eleven lithographs published in Le Charivari between January and July 1851 and again in October 1852. Physionomie Tragico-Classique (Tragic-classical physiognomies) is a series of fifteen lithographs, which were published in Le Charivari between January and November 1841. Two years after the publication of the series, the Charivari offered his readers in 1843 an “Album Physionomies Tragico-Classiques” featuring all 15 prints of the series. It was published by Aubert and sold for a price of 9 Francs. La Tragédie (Tragedy) is a series of 3 prints, which appeared 1848 in Le Charivari in January and February 1848. "The classical theatrical tradition had become stiff and lifeless over the years and the romanticists started opposing the classic theatre's exclusive role. The situation reached its climax in Victor Hugo's "Hernani" in 1830. Though violently criticized, the play was a remarkable success with the public. Daumier also felt the time was ripe to revive Greek tragedy, but in a somewhat unexpected way. Hardly ever have the antique Gods been thrust so far off their known path than under Daumier merciless crayon. Offenbach was the one who brought the Gods "down to the ground" on the musical side."
