Comics and Caricatures

The word caricature has its roots in Italian, where "caricare" means "to exaggerate". Caricaturists portray people and society in an exaggerated and distorted way. Politicians and public figures are not the only targets of their attention, ridicule, and venomous humor. In the late 18th century, caricatures were also used to target philosophical questions about the nature of human beings. For example, artists began to show hermaphrodite creatures that had seemingly transformed into animals, vegetables, and fruits according to the motto "Man is what he eats"".

At a time when the majority of people could not read, it was the job of cartoonists to convey pointed messages in illustrations of newspapers and magazines that everyone could understand - even those who could not interpret letters but only pictures.

The individual cartoons later developed into series of pictures that told short stories in caricatured, satirical form. Thus the cartoon and the comic strip were born. The first cartoons were published in daily newspapers. As a rule, caricatures and also cartoons were charcoal, pencil or pen drawings, which were only partially coloured afterwards. Today, the possibilities of caricature and cartoon have greatly expanded via color printing and digital graphics programs.

One of the most famous caricaturists is Honoré Daumier (1808-1879), who is also known as the "father of modern caricature". As a socialist, he mostly mocked French politicians of the reactionary camp in his prints. The painter Lyonel Feininger (1871-1956) also worked successfully as an illustrator and caricaturist for a long time before his career as a painter. Henri de Toulouse Lautrec (1864-1901) or George Grosz (1893-1959) used the means of caricature in their painterly works.
