Honoré Daumier. The Hellwig Collection | STÄDEL MUSEUM 

Both loved and feared-the artist Honoré Daumier (1808-1879) was one of France’s greatest draughtsmen. In the film, collector and patron Hans-Jürgen Hellwig and curator Astrid Reuter explain how Daumier’s commitment to republican ideas, the press and freedom of speech, his fervent interest in modern innovations, and his critical but also profoundly human view of conditions in 19th century Paris are impressively visualized in his caricatures.
