Note: |
Charles Philipon: Artist, caricaturist, writer
and editor, Charles Philipon played a central role in the shaping of early
nineteenth century French culture. Social and political satire in France
was largely shaped by his efforts. Philipon founded and edited the two most
influential journals of the century, La Caricature (1830-1835)
and Le Charivari (1832-1916). Original lithographs accompanied
the text with each issue. Philipon created some of these highly regarded
masterworks of satirical art himself, such as the famous portrayal of King
Louis-Philippe symbolically transformed into a pear. However this popular
caricature was not well received by the King and Charles Philipon was rewarded with
a several month stay in prison in 1835. |
|
As editor of La Caricature and Le Charivari
Charles Philipon regularly commissioned and promoted such great artists
as Travies, Grandville, Gavarni and Daumier. With Daumier he invented the
famous villain, Robert Macaire. Daumier produced the imagery and Philipon
suggested the scenes and wrote the captions. |
|
Charles Philipon came to Paris from his native Lyons in 1823 and studied
painting and lithography under Baron Gros. Shortly thereafter he produced
his first caricatures. Politics, however, made Philipon explore other avenues
of art. Beatrice Farwell writes,
"Under the regime of Charles X, censorship prohibited political
caricature, and Philipon's work, from this time until the Bourbons'
downfall in the Revolution of 1830, was characterized by mild social
satire and the depiction of popular Parisian types. ... Philipon created
two types of imagery: attractive women (suitable for framing), and social
or political commentary of a topical nature. ... These works show us
the witty and sometimes satiric mind of his early years and give us
a glimpse of the great conductor of the caricatural orchestra that was
to perform so well in the decades to follow." *

|
During this period Charles Philipon created such series of lithographs
as Genre parisien (1827-1829), Occupations d'une femme (1827-1830),
Les Annonces, Petites-affiches parisiennes (1828-1830),
Les tentations du diable (1829) and Costumes Divers (1830).
This original lithograph originates from the last named series. |
|
Costumes Divers was published in one edition only
in 1830 and consisted of over thirty lithographs, all created by Charles
Philipon. Drawing upon the costumes of various localities within Europe
(with the emphasis upon the French provinces), these early Philipon lithographs
represent a stunning artistic and historical representation of this genre.
Each lithograph was hand-colored before publication. As one can see by this
original example, no efforts were spared to create a superb range of tones
and colors. This original lithograph depicts a young girl dressed in her native
costume from the Maconnaise region of France, located South of the Burgundy wine
region and West of the River Saone. It represents a prime example of early nineteenth century French art. |
