Charles Léandre (1862-1934) was a prominent French caricaturist, painter, and lithographer, celebrated for his sharp wit and keen observation of society. His caricatures, which often appeared in popular periodicals of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, captured the essence of the political, cultural, and social climate of his time. Léandre's work is distinguished by its expressive line work, exaggerated features, and the ability to convey complex personalities and situations with a single image.

Léandre's caricatures were featured in numerous publications, including "Le Rire," "Le Figaro," and "L'Assiette au Beurre," where his satirical illustrations reached a wide audience. His subjects ranged from politicians and public figures to everyday citizens, often highlighting the absurdities and contradictions of contemporary life. Léandre's ability to blend humor with incisive commentary made his work both entertaining and thought-provoking, earning him a lasting place in the history of caricature.

In addition to his work in periodicals, Léandre also produced a number of standalone caricature collections and contributed to various exhibitions. His artistic style was influenced by the broader movements of his time, including Impressionism and Symbolism, which can be seen in the fluidity and expressiveness of his drawings. Despite the often humorous nature of his work, Léandre's caricatures also reflect a deep understanding of human nature and societal dynamics, making them valuable historical documents as well as works of art.

Léandre's legacy as a caricaturist is marked by his ability to capture the spirit of his age with both humor and insight. His work continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and its reflection of the social and political currents of early 20th-century France.
