«Balzac-Daumier: Comédies humaines» is the catalogue of the exhibition on Balzac and Daumier published by Conseil général d'Indre-et-Loire (59 pp., in French).
The catalogue of the exhibition at the Balzac Museum in Saché (2008) contrasts the literature of Honoré de Balzac with the caricature of Honoré Daumier. Both portrayed French society of the nineteenth century through the novel and lithography, from types and customs to a satirical critique of their time, around the «comédie humaine».
The exhibition «Balzac-Daumier, comédies humaines» was held at the Musée Balzac in Saché from 26 February to 25 May 2008.
For those interested in Balzac's work, Daumier's caricature and nineteenth-century French culture.
Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, described as a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.
