Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FORAIN, J . L. (1852- ), French painter and illustrator, was born in 1852. He became one of the leading
modern
  Parisian caricaturists, who in his merciless exposure of the weaknesses of the bourgeoisie continued the
work
  which was begun by Daumier under the second
Empire
 . The scathing bitterness of his
satire
  is as clearly derived from Daumier as his pictorial style can be traced to Manet and Degas; but even in his
painting
  he never suppresses the
caustic
  spirit that drives him to caricature. He has, indeed, been rightly called " a Degas pushed on to caricature." In his pen-and-ink
work
  he combines extraordinary
economy
  of means with the utmost power of expression and suggestion. Forain's popularity
dates
  from the publication of his Comedie parisienne, a
series
  of two hundred and fifty sketches republished in book form. He has contributed many admirable, if sometimes over-daring, pages to the Figaro, Le Rire, L'Assiette au beurre, Le Courrier franQais, and L'Indiscret. His political drawings for the Figaro were republished in book form under the
title
  of Doux Pays.
