His father played on Latino drum instruments, and his mother was a hula dancer, so it might guess from where he inherits his talent. He was quite young, when he started to deal with music, soon after he became the world’s youngest Elvis-imitator, and after he played in the film, Honeymoon in Las Vegas, he formed the young Elvis Presley. After he finished the secondary school he moved to Los Angeles, where he firstly became a recognized music producer and song writer and he worked with stars, like Travie McCoy, Adam Levine, Brandy and Sean Kingston, but he worked on Flo Rida’s worldwide famous song, the Right Round. But the real success occurred after his work with B.o.B. on the song “Nothin’ on You” and with Travie McCoy on the song “Billionaire”. Both hits reached top ten places on several point of the world.
The museum’s collection includes Daumier earliest pages, political cartoons from the 1830s, which were made for Charles Philipon’s order, and they were published in two sarcastic newspapers, the La Carucature and the Le Charivari. The main target was the “pear-head” Louise Philippe citizen king, but the artist made ridicule about the politicians and delegates who served the king. His mostly known cartoons were made to protect the freedom of press and speech. His older works can be seen too, which shows the caricature of citizen’s weekdays and habits in Paris. The exhibition shows other artists’ works (Beaumont, Cham, Gavarni, Canzi) on 170 pages who were inspired by Daumier.
