"Art et Artistes" is a series of works by the French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor Honoré Daumier (1808–1879), who is best known for his editorial cartoons and social commentary through art. The series comprises lithographs that satirize the art world of Daumier's time, including artists, critics, and patrons. Daumier's keen observation and sharp wit are evident in these works, which often highlight the pretensions and follies of those involved in the fine arts.

Daumier's career spanned the volatile political climate of 19th-century France, and his art frequently intersected with the social and political issues of his day. "Art et Artistes" reflects this intersection, as Daumier used his artistic talents to critique the very institutions and individuals that were part of his professional milieu. His lithographs serve not only as humorous commentaries but also as insightful social documents that provide a window into the Parisian art scene of the 1800s.

The "Art et Artistes" series is characteristic of Daumier's mature style, which combined realism with caricature, and often conveyed a sense of the grotesque. His work in this series, as in much of his oeuvre, demonstrates a mastery of lithographic technique, allowing him to achieve a broad range of tonal effects and a high level of detail. Daumier's influence extended beyond his lifetime, as his approach to satirical art inspired later generations of artists and cartoonists.

As with many of Daumier's lithographic series, "Art et Artistes" was likely published in periodicals of the time, such as "La Caricature" or "Le Charivari," which were known for their political and social satire. The exact number of works in the series and the dates of their creation may vary, as Daumier was prolific, and his catalog is extensive.

Today, Daumier's "Art et Artistes" is recognized for its artistic merit and historical significance. The series is studied by art historians and scholars for its commentary on the art world and its reflection of 19th-century French society. The works are held in various museum collections and continue to be exhibited, allowing contemporary audiences to appreciate Daumier's wit and artistry.
