"Les Divorceuses" is a series of lithographs created by the French artist Honoré Daumier, who is renowned for his social and political commentary through his works. This series, which translates to "The Divorcees" in English, delves into the subject of divorce, which was a contentious social issue in 19th-century France. Daumier's lithographs often satirized the mores and institutions of his time, and "Les Divorceuses" is no exception, as it reflects the artist's critical perspective on the impact of divorce on society, particularly on women.

The series was produced during a period when divorce laws in France were undergoing significant changes. After being reinstated in 1884, following a ban that lasted for several decades, divorce became a topic of intense public discourse. Daumier, known for his keen observation of the human condition and his ability to capture the essence of societal shifts, used his art to comment on the various aspects of divorce, from the legal proceedings to the emotional consequences for the individuals involved.

In "Les Divorceuses," Daumier employs his characteristic caricatural style to portray the characters involved in the process of divorce, including the divorcing couples, lawyers, and judges. His lithographs are marked by exaggerated expressions and gestures, which serve to emphasize the absurdity and hypocrisy he perceived in the way society dealt with the dissolution of marriage. The series not only provides a critical examination of the legal system but also offers a window into the gender dynamics and cultural attitudes of the time.

Honoré Daumier's work has been celebrated for its artistic merit and historical significance. "Les Divorceuses" contributes to the rich tapestry of his oeuvre, offering insight into the complexities of human relationships and the societal structures that govern them. As with much of Daumier's art, this series continues to be appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its enduring relevance to social commentary.
