We invite you to the exhibition “Friendly Arbitration: Honoré Daumier on Crime, Justice, and Punishment” on view at MoFA until Saturday, December 12. Friendly Arbitration examines Honoré Daumier’s (1808–1879) subversive use of lithography and wood engraving as tools for artistic innovation and social critique in nineteenth-century France. Bringing together original prints from his popular series on lawyers, the legal system, and crime and punishment, the exhibition explores how his satirical caricatures challenged judicial authority, exposed social inequities, and helped reshape the fields of art and journalism.
This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of Jay Steele & Matthew Wright.

Mapped Journeys in Color & Verse features the abstract works of Susan Antoinette and local abstract artists. Combining vibrant color with thoughtfully incorporated phrases, her pieces serve as visual maps of life’s journeys, inviting viewers to reflect on personal paths, experiences, and the stories that shape us.
