BARRÈRE (Adrien) – LITHOGRAPH ENHANCED WITH GOUACHE ON THE THEME OF LAW FACULTY PROFESSORS, DEPICTING ALL LAW PROFESSORS IN
    BARRÈRE (Adrien)
    Lithograph enhanced with gouache on the theme of professors at the Faculty of Law, depicting all the law professors in "small suits", caricature
Date :
    [circa 1910]
    89 x 48.50 cm [unframed], original lithograph circa 1910, colours particularly well preserved and vivid, (faded edges with slight losses, light marginal damp stain, a few spots), fine impressions.
    Born in Paris in 1877, this painter, poster artist, and cartoonist initially studied law and medicine. His fame stems primarily from a series of six color lithographs depicting professors from the Paris faculties of medicine and law, printed in a limited edition; he also created posters for the Grand Guignol theater and for commercial advertising. He contributed to the Courrier français, Le Cri de Paris, and La Nouvelle Revue Parisienne. He died in Paris in 1931. These caricatures of early 20th-century lawyers are legendary and constitute the few [or only?] caricatural iconographic documents of the period, nearly 50 years after those of Daumier. This is a very rare caricature, especially with such vibrant colors.
