Description:"There are a good many books on Daumier, mainly picture books with a minimum of text. This is the first, however, that could be called a full-length treatment of Daumier the man, the social and political satirist, and the artist. It presents a historical setting of his caricatures in greater detail than other works; it relates Daumier to the art movements of his time, and suggests the answer to the problem which other writers have either ignores of treated superficially- the chronology of his oils, watercolors, and drawings- as an indication of how he developed as a creative artist from youth yo old age."--from dust jacket.
