Opening speech by art historian Kovács Zita:Available feeling of free speech
Slovakia cartoon contest, October 2016

When you open a cartoon exhibition in an art history bíbelődő curators will be invited to, unfortunately, to be expected that the exhibition provides an overview of works by examining the historical aspects of the cartoon is the phenomenon of predilection. Especially if the genre's more exciting strand of the history related to the fine arts.

So: how many people know that the cartoon of the fathers of European art history two classics, the two were Brueghel.

They will understand what I mean when They will look Belniák Polish graphic work. We know the same old Roman, Hellenistic, Japanese and Chinese distorted images, but they were not the cartoon story home page. The starting point was a real caricature peasant Brueghel.

His healthy sense of humor Flemish threw the first opening in the religious asceticism otherworldly promises happiness church teachings, thereby visszaráncigálta appropriated by the church in the art world.

Peasants animal creatures as you would slap for égbekacsintó man and his son Hell Brueghel, yet he is better emphasized his satanic visions of the animal people.

Later Hogarth, Callot is no longer a peasant, but a wig and armor-clad nobles mocked Goya etchings Capricciosa unequaled cycle is already a citizen to receive his due, so that they remain the best target to date.The cartoon seems today, on paper or in electronic media one-dimensional genre.

Its main charm is precisely this: that though it seems one-dimensional genre, not just graphic value creation - as in the previous examples, Goya, Daumier and Hogarth caricature confirm this. In contrast to the verbal irony, literary genres as well, which only reflected the opinion of the writer of satire, a karikatúrából not only the artist's own opinion can be read but even the opinion itself is often the subject of ridicule.

If we review the work, showing a caricature, a caricature, humorous, funny drawings of contemporary world increasingly becomes a political drawing.

As the aphorism is otherwise entirely in the service of public life once stood. (Moment of the 20th century was the aphorism -gondoljunk Kosztolányi ministries in the 21st century is a caricature.)Baudelaire, one of the largest specialist in the cartoon in one place spoke of the revolution of the cartoon caused a real fever.

Exciting issue would be researched and answered is whether today we lázasítja in our caricaturist? The cartoonist task is not exactly like the classic artists'?

After all, both are looking for and seek its own means to display behind the mere appearances of enduring reality. After all, both will try to help you plan the implementation of nature. One, however, will seek to replicate the exact shape and depicts in his work, and the other was trying to uncover and seize the deformity, this is about your personality and expose the world without a mask, the real essence.The caricaturist today, "ordering of public life" work, ie processed.

The Slovakia international arrived in 2016 Free feeling of free speech c. application material selected exhibition of the drawing is a journalist present their work, who have a kind of reverse pókokként various surfaces of the media expressed their yarn-line for them.But what can this exploit as a kind of court jester, whether they can master the eye is truth to say that the bait, line birdlime able to cheat in public life muslincáit, legyeit and böglyeit to mézükbe spleen and bile bitter enemies also included to be able to dribble, to what eventually will be able to archive their comic deposit - this kind of audience, so we have to judge us. I wish you to have fun!
