Gavarni (gävärnē`), pseud. of Sulpice Guillaume Chevalier (sülpēs` gēyōm` shəvälyā`), 1804–66, French caricaturist and lithographer. He was first known for his amusing drawings of costumes, which appeared in the Mode. Later he contributed satirical drawings to Charivari. In his early delineation of society he appeared more capricious than his great contemporary Daumier. However, Gavarni's last work, published mostly in L'Illustration, reflects a bitter attitude. His trip to London in 1847 resulted in drawings strongly condemning working-class conditions there. Gavarni produced over 8,000 drawings, watercolors, and lithographs.

No references found | The larger point, however, is that Dote, like Manet, as well as like Guys, Paul Gavarni, and Honore Daumier, even while soaring across Olympian heights and Stygian depths in an opiate delirium, always kept one foot rooted in the realities of modern Parisian life. It was he who devised the "Pear": the image of King Louis-Philippe that, in the hands of Daumier and his other artists (including Grandville, Gavarni, Descamps, and Monnier), came to epitomize the sovereign and his regime for the entire country. The work of Daumier, as well as that of Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Auguste Bouquet, Paul Gavarni, Auguste Desperret, and Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard (known as Grandville), among others, will be on display in "The Print, the Pear, and the Prostitute: Art Politics, and Society in 19th-Century France. |
