Painting Description
"Les Enfants Terribles" is a series of lithographs created by the French artist Paul Gavarni, the pseudonym of Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier (1804–1866). Gavarni was a notable figure in 19th-century French art, renowned for his social satire and keen observations of Parisian life. The series, whose title translates to "The Terrible Children," is a collection of illustrations that depict the antics and behaviors of mischievous children, capturing the spirit of youthful exuberance and the challenges of childhood in a rapidly modernizing society.
The lithographs in "Les Enfants Terribles" are characterized by Gavarni's distinctive style, which combines a fine attention to detail with a sense of whimsy and caricature. His work often includes sharp commentary on social norms and human follies, and this series is no exception. Through his illustrations, Gavarni explores themes such as the innocence and cruelty of children, the impact of urbanization on family life, and the generational tensions that arise from changing cultural values.
"Les Enfants Terribles" was created during a period when Gavarni was at the height of his popularity, and the series reflects his mature artistic skills. The lithographs were widely circulated and admired in his time, contributing to the artist's reputation as a master illustrator and social critic. Today, the series is considered an important work in the canon of French lithography and is studied for its artistic merit as well as its historical significance in reflecting the mores of 19th-century Parisian society.
The series remains a testament to Gavarni's legacy as an artist who deftly combined humor and social commentary, and it continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its insightful portrayal of human behavior. "Les Enfants Terribles" holds a place in the collections of various art institutions and is frequently referenced in discussions of French art and the history of lithography.
