The HISTORY of CARICATURE!
|
Caricature can be traced all the way back to Cave
Drawings in the drawing of animals. The exaggerated
feature of animals in there simplistic and identifiable forms.
When ever you had art through out history, you will find
Caricature.Here is an example of Ancient Pompeiian
graffiti caricature of a politician. This particular caricature
reminds me of what we use to draw at astroworld when
I first started drawing caricatures. The basic profile
caricature. I did these for 7 years before I learned how
to draw the front view and 3 quarter view.
One of my favorite early artists is Leonardo Da Vinci.
In his studies of facial structure, he would, on occasion,
caricature his subjects. I believe that Leonardo
understood that the study of exaggeration would give
him a well rounded education in portraiture.
Diodemmar Casem one of the great early practitioners,
was favored by the members of the papal court for his
ability to depict the essence of a person in 'three or four strokes.'[citation needed] In fact, the word
"caricature" comes from the Italian caricare, "to load", thus the caricaturist's aim is to invest his
image with as much meaning as possible.
Caricature, therefore, experienced its first successes in the closed aristocratic circles of France and Italy, where
the such portraits could be passed about for mutual enjoyment.
James Gillray's The Plumb-pudding
in danger (1805), which
caricatured Pitt and Napoleon,
was voted the most famous of all
UK political cartoons.[2]While the
first book on caricature drawing
to be published in England was
Mary Darly's A Book of Caricaturas
(c. 1762), the first known
North American caricatures
were drawn in 1759 during the battle
for Quebec.[3] These caricatures were the work of Brig.-Gen. George Townshend whose caricatures of British
General James Wolfe, depicted as "Deformed and crass and hideous" (Snell),[4] were drawn to amuse fellow
officers.[3] Elsewhere, two great practitioners of the art of caricature in 18th-century Britain were Thomas
Rowlandson (1756–1827) and James Gillray (1757–1815). Rowlandson was more of an artist and his work took
its inspiration mostly from the public at large. Gillray was more concerned with the vicious visual satirisation of
political life. They were, however, great friends and caroused together in the pubs of London. See the Tate
Gallery's exhibit James Gillray: The Art of Caricature
In a lecture titled The History and Art of Caricature (September 2007, Queen Mary 2 Lecture theatre), the British
caricaturist Ted Harrison said that the caricaturist can choose to either mock or wound the subject with an
effective caricature. Drawing caricatures can simply be a form of entertainment and amusement – in which case
gentle mockery is in order – or the art can be employed to make a serious social or political point. A caricaturist
draws on (1) the natural characteristics of the subject (the big ears, long nose, etc.); (2) the acquired
characteristics (stoop, scars, facial lines etc.); and (3) the vanities (choice of hair style, spectacles, clothes,
expressions and mannerisms).
List of Caricaturist throughout the ages
Une discussion littéraire à la deuxième Galerie by Honoré Daumier
Lithograph published in Le Charivari newspaper, February 27, 1864
A Group of Vultures Waiting for the Storm to "Blow Over"--"Let Us Prey." by Thomas Nast
Wood engraving published in Harper's Weekly newspaper, September 23, 1871George Cruikshank (1792–
1878, British) created political prints that attacked the royal family and leading politicians (in 1820 he received a
royal bribe of £100 for a pledge "not to caricature His Majesty (George III of the United Kingdom) in any immoral
situation."[citation needed] He went on to create social caricatures of British life for popular publications such as
The Comic Almanack (1835–1853) and Omnibus (1842). He also earned fame as a book illustrator for Charles
Dickens and many other authors.
Honoré Daumier (1808–1879, French) is considered by some[who?] to be the father of caricature.[citation
needed] During his life, he created over 4,000 lithographs, most of them caricatures on political, social and
everyday themes. They were published in the daily French newspapers (Le Charivari, La Caricature etc.)
Thomas Nast (1840–1902, American) was a famous caricaturist and editorial cartoonist in the 19th century and
is considered by some[who?] to be the father of American political cartooning.[citation needed] He is often
credited with creating the definitive caricatures of the Democratic Donkey, the Republican Elephant and Santa
Claus.[citation needed]
Sir Max Beerbohm (1872–1956, British), created and published caricatures of the famous men of his own time
and earlier. His style of single-figure caricatures in formalized groupings was established by 1896 and flourished
until about 1930. His published works include Caricatures of Twenty-five Gentlemen (1896), The Poets' Corner
(1904) and Rossetti and His Circle (1922). He published widely in fashionable magazines of the time, and his
works were exhibited regularly in London at the Carfax Gallery (1901–18) and Leicester Galleries (1911–57).
Alex Gard (1900–1948, Russian) created more than 700 caricatures of show business celebrities and other
notables for the walls of Sardi's Restaurant in the theater district of New York City: the first artist to do so. Today
the images are part of the Billy Rose Theatre Collection of The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.

Al Hirschfeld (1903–2003, American) was best known for his simple black and white renditions of celebrities and
Broadway stars which used flowing contour lines over heavy rendering. He was also known for depicting a
variety of other famous people, from politicians, musicians, singers and even television stars like the cast of Star
Trek: The Next Generation. He was even commissioned by the United States Postal Service to provide art for U.
S. stamps. Permanent collections of Hirschfeld's work appear at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the
Museum of Modern Art in New York, and he boasts a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame.
Mort Drucker (1929, American) joined Mad in 1957 and became well known for his parodies of movie satires. He
combined a comic strip style with caricature likenesses of film actors for Md, and he also contributed covers to
Time. He has been recognized for his work with the National Cartoonists Society Special Features Award for
1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988, and their Reuben Award for 1987.
Vitaliy Peskov (1944–2002, Russian Виталий Песков) was a famous Russian caricaturist.
Robert Risko (1946, American) is known for his retro airbrush style. His work has appeared in Rolling Stone,
Playboy, Vanity Fair, Esquire, and Interview.
David Levine (1926–2009, American) is noted for his caricatures in The New York Review of Books and Playboy
magazine. His first cartoons appeared in 1963. Since then he has drawn hundreds of pen-and-ink caricatures of
famous writers and politicians for the newspaper.
Sam Viviano (1953, American) has done much work for corporations and in advertising, having contributed to
Rolling Stone, Family Weekly, Reader's Digest, Consumer Reports, and Mad, of which he is currently the art
director. Viviano’s caricatures are known for their wide jaws, which Viviano has explained is a result of his
incorporation of side views as well as front views into his distortions of the human face. He has also developed a
reputation for his ability to do crowd scenes. Explaining his twice-yearly covers for Institutional Investor
magazine, Viviano has said that his upper limit is sixty caricatures in nine days.
Sebastian Krüger (1963, German) is known for his grotesque, yet hyper-realistic distortions of the facial features
of celebrities, which he renders primarily in acrylic paint, and for which he has won praise from The Times. He is
well known for his lifelike depictions of The Rolling Stones, in particular, Keith Richards. Krüger has published
three collections of his works, and has a yearly art calendar from Morpheus International. Krüger's art can be
seen frequently in Playboy magazine and has also been featured in the likes of Stern, L’Espresso, Penthouse,
and Der Spiegel and USA Today. He has recently been working on select motion picture projects.
Hermann Mejia (Venezuelan) is known for his frequent work for MAD Magazine. Mejia uses multiple techniques
for his work, sometimes rendering his illustrations in black and white ink and copious amounts of cross-hatching,
sometimes using watercolor, and sometimes combinations of both.
