An Examination of the Zimmerli Art Museum's Series

Dr. Edouard Papet, Curator of Sculpture, Musée d’Orsay, Paris
Thursday, April 3 / 6:00 pm

Edouard Papet, Curator of Sculpture at the Orsay Museum, Paris, will introduce his work on the Zimmerli Art Museum busts series of the Celebrities of the Juste Milieu (Middle of the Road), created by Honoré Daumier between 1832-1835. Papet will contextualize Daumier's portrait-caricature series comprising 36 painted clay busts of politicians and other notable personalities of the July Monarchy (1830-1848), vis-à-vis sculptural trends produced in 19th century France.
