Honoré Daumier - third class carriage

Third class carriage was created by Honoré Daumier, sometime between the years 1862-1864.






I feel that this image that was charcoaled up has imitationalism because first of all, it represents people. The focus of the painting/fake one is definitely with the peoples faces and their possessions with them. All of that put together creates a little bit of sadness with some pride because their faces don't have a sad look on them. It shows that they are not sad to be poor, but yet looking at the benefits of their lives.

This image has a lack of formalism. Without being copied from another copy of the artwork, it still has some spots where the dark spots are lined up with the lightest of the bunch! This portrays the visual
representation of many pieces of paper making up the final result, and as a result doesn't give of the emotions that the real one does because it looks like a joke.

Lastly, the emotionalism is high with this image when you know what you're looking at. When you can see the people on that train, it looks slightly sad and lonely with a hint of pride with some of the people. You can probably tell that these people are not rich and maybe in fact poor, (When judging from the title it's obvious though.) but they still seem to be relatively happy or neutral instead of being sad and out of luck. Of course when looking at the charcoaled one, just like before it seems like a joke because of the distortions.
