Guerrilla Girls
How many women artists had one-person exhibitions at NYC art museums last year?

Honoré Daumier
Doctor Robert Macaire's clinic. - There you are gentlemen, the surgery I performed was a full success, while everybody considered it to be impossible. - But doctor, the patient is dead! - So what... ..she would have died sooner or later anyway.
1837
Honoré Daumier
Parisians in the countryside. - Aren't we a bit too audacious to get involved in such an adventure.... down there I see something rather disturbing... I am not sure whether it is wise to advance any further. - But I think these are simply millstones... - And I was afraid these might be the huts of some savages!

Unknown Artist and Honoré Daumier
Having had one too many, toasting St. Hubert.

Californian Shareholders. - Yesterday I invested 5000 Francs in the purchase of 1000 shares of a California Gold Mining Company.... we have the exploitation right of the left bank of the Sacramento river.... I think this will be a good business.... and the manager is just as convinced as I am. - I prefer a company, called "the golden hoax"... I have put all my money into it.

Honoré Daumier
You remember now that young Cabassol is far too good in translation that I would allow anyone in this class to molest him... he is under my immediate protection! At the final exams it is he who will hold up the honour of Bilboquet High school.
1845
Honoré Daumier
Yes my uncle, my virtuous uncle, I was a spendthrift, gambler, seducer, I had many faults, in a word I was frivolous... but you're ill, very ill, the doctors have abandoned you... I've come to aid you, to fall at your feet, I'll swear... anything you like... I'll only leave you at death, my kind uncle, my so excellent uncle! Let's embrace and put an end to it. (Macaire, sole inheritor, has his dear uncle thrown into a common pit).

Honoré Daumier
Robert Macaire bookseller. Ladies and gentlemen, would there be anyone in this pleasant place who'd like to make himself a nice little income, without difficulty and without working?... If there is someone he should stock my primers... You don't have to be a bookseller to be a specialist in this trade, you don't even have to know how to read, quite the contrary!... You only have to pay me a deposit... The bigger the better, as the saying goes.
1836
Honoré Daumier
Great Exhibition... of Industry and Contemporary Jokes. Enter and judge for yourself! Everything is arranged and ready: The pancake of the courts good for digestion (To the side: and difficult to digest). The Master-thief who catches all!! (save for his shadow). Liquid bitumen! (exactly). Men's shirts for the use of little children. The marvellous indestructible hats (that melt in the sun and dissolve in the rain). Dromedar cream in great demand (by fools). English beer with lots of froth (like in the newspapers). Simpleton's sublime, the classic coal of Saint Pétrain that one can put to the test (at any time).
1839
Honoré Daumier
I say to myself: would anybody imagine that we are coming from the Rue des Lombards?... We really don't look like confectioners at all.
