Les Canotiers Parisiens is an original Modern Artwork realized in the 1843 by Honoré Daumier (in full Honoré-Victorin Daumier, Marseille, 1808 — Valmondois, 1879). He has been a prolific French caricaturist, painter, and sculptor especially renowned for his cartoons and drawings satirizing 19th-century French politics and society. His paintings, though hardly known during his lifetime, helped introduce techniques of Impressionism into modern art. In 1830 Daumier began his satirical work: his busts lampooning certain contemporary types and his many lithographs. He enjoyed the company of grandiloquent men and mainly associated with men of the left. Daumier was indeed the first of the Impressionists. As early as 1848, his lithographs show contours effaced by light. As a cartoonist, Daumier enjoyed a wide reputation, although as a painter he remained unknown. His fame was not based, any more than it is today, on critical appreciations but, rather, on the smiling or laughing admiration of those who read the satirical journals.
