Daumier - a brilliant draftsman. His early cartoons, somewhat overwrought, eventually giving way to a more general, concise, pointed in its specificity. Daumier refers to the creation of a satirical portrait, which performs in the sculpture, and then exacerbating the grotesque features portrayed, translates into a lithograph. On the use of devastatingly revealing portraits of the artist Daumier builds one of the most famous lithographs - "Legislative womb" (1834). Ministers and members of parliament sit amphitheater, resembling a rare collection of monsters. Portrait similarity is clearly revealed in lithography "We are all honest people embrace" (1834), which shows the prominent political figures of the July Monarchy, led by Louis-Philippe. Here, the artist reveals the mutual deception, trickery, hypocrisy, false private and public morality of bourgeois society.
