Abstract (English)"Victoria artist Ralph Stanbridge's interest in Daumier's work, and in social commentary as a choice of subject matter, was established when he taught Modern Art History at Camosun College from 1977 to 1984. This, combined with his interest in appropriation of art historical images, led him to construct two large sculptural installations utilizing reproductions of Daumier's work Third Class Carriage and Don Quixote. Stanbridge's re-presentation of this work, Carriage (After Daumier) 1984?85, runs concurrently with The French Masters exhibition, which includes one of the original versions of Daumier?s Third Class Carriage, Stanbridge's subject of study." -- Publisher's website.
