Laugh Lines: Caricaturing Painting in Nineteenth-Century France is
the first major study of Salon caricature, a kind of graphic art
criticism in which press artists drew comic versions of
contemporary painting and sculpture for publication in widely
consumed journals and albums. Salon caricature began with a few
tentative lithographs in the 1840s and within a few decades, no
Parisian exhibition could open without appearing in warped,
incisive, and hilarious miniature in the pages of the illustrated
press. This broad survey of Salon caricature examines little-known
graphic artists and unpublished amateurs alongside major figures
like Edouard Manet, puts anonymous jokesters in dialogue with the
essays of Baudelaire, and holds up the material qualities of a
10-centime album to the most ambitious painting of the 19th
century. This archival study unearths colorful caricatures that
have not been reproduced until now, drawing back the curtain on a
robust culture of comedy around fine art and its reception in
nineteenth-century France.
