I need an honest manâ€Note: Forain was a French Impressionist painter, lithographer, watercolourist and etcher. He was famous for his biting wit and fervent political views. He was great friends with Degas and Manet both of whom he often met at the famous Café de la Nouvelle Athènes. Forain joined the Impressionist circle in time to take part in the fourth independent exhibition in 1879; he participated in three of the four landmark shows that followed between 1879 and 1884. Influenced by Impressionist theories on light and color, he preferred to depict scenes of everyday life: his watercolors, pastels, and paintings focused on Parisian popular entertainments and themes of modernity—the racetrack, the ballet, the comic opera, and bustling cafés. This work is very typical of the artists cynical approach to life which made him famous. ,
