CARICATURES the Cartoonist Will Employ Numerous Techniques To This handout was created by the Ardrossan Social Dept. TECHNIQUES: CARICATURES The cartoonist will employ numerous techniques to get his message across to the viewer. One of the most frequently used is that of caricature. In caricature, the cartoonist will exaggerate certain features of the main figure in the cartoon. This figure tends to be a highly recognizable person, either from the past or present day. The cartoonist may choose to exaggerate the shape of the ears, nose, or just the overall facial shape. Any distinguishing features such as birthmarks will receive attention by the cartoonist. It is expected by the cartoonist that the viewer must have some prior knowledge to identify the caricature. Sometimes, both not always, the cartoonist may include the name of the figure. Sample One: Ralph Klein (former premier of Alberta) In this caricature, the cartoonist has exaggerated the ears, the heavy jowls/double chins and the nose. In fact, the nose of Klein would be shaded in to indicate to the viewer that this person has a problem with alcohol. Sample Two: Jean Chretien (former Prime Minister of Canada) The cartoonist has chosen to exaggerate Chretien’s ears, forehead and his crooked mouth. Sample Three: Stephen Harper (present Prime Minister of Canada) In this caricature, the cartoonist has given the viewer additional help with the caption “ Super Stephen”. Because there are no unique facial parts to exaggerate the cartoonist has exaggerated the overall shape of the face (rectangular). Sample Four: Slobodan Milosevic (former dictator of Serbia, 1991-99) In this classic caricaturization of the dictator Milosevic, the cartoonist has exaggerated the shape of the face, the double chins, the receding hairline (high widow’s peak) and the white straight hair. The cartoonist has gone one step further by giving the viewer additional information into the personality of this political figure. The cartoonist has drawn Milosevic with a bloodstained meat cleaver, indicating Milosevic’s brutal methods of control. Also notice the blood stains on his apron. Milosevic is shown as a “butcher” and, in fact, that was one of his nicknames (the butcher of Serbia). Additional note on caricatures: Often the cartoonist will draw the caricature with additional symbols to try to convey to the viewer an insight into the personality of the figure or to give the viewer more information about which the figure is. 2 Sample Five: Saddam Hussein (former dictator of Iraq, 1979- ) In this caricature the cartoonist portrays Hussein with a rifle to emphasize his imperialistic and militaristic tendencies. Also, observe the skull on Hussein’s cap; again a symbol of death. Sample Six: Boris Yeltsin (former President of Russia, 1992-98) In this caricature of Boris Yeltsin the cartoonist portrays Yeltsin in the classic caricature mode with the emphasis on his white hair, chubby face and double chin. The cartoonist provides additional commentary by including the IV stand reflecting the idea that Yeltsin was also a very ill leader due his alcoholism. 3 Sample Seven: M. Gorbachev (former and last communist leader of USSR) Notice the symbol of the olive branch in Gorbachev’s hand. What is the cartoonist trying to say about this leader? Also notice the “peace sign” Gorbachev makes with his left hand. Other caricatures (national and international): Can you identify them? 4 TECHNIQUE: PERSONIFICATION AND SYMBOLISM Cartoonists will often use personification of ideas and concepts that are personalized and given human characteristics. For example, DEATH is personified as the “grim reaper”’ pictured as a skeleton, wearing an ominous grin, and often dressed in dark flowing robes. FATHER TIME is usually drawn with a long, flowing white beard and drowsy expression. More often cartoonists will use symbols in their pictures. A symbol is something that is used to represent a large idea or concept. Below is a partial listing of some of the more frequently used symbols Canada-beaver, maple leaf, hockey Citizen/taxpayer-John Q, Public or sometimes a small man with ragged clothes Any country-usually their flag Communism-hammer and sickle Government –ship of state Knowledge-torch Labour-any person carrying tools of trade and a lunch pail, wearing a hard hat Middle East-camel or pyramid Monarchy- throne. Crown, specter, Money-money bags, money sign New Year-baby with a top hat Parliament-Parliament buildings Peace-dove, olive branch Strength-oak tree, biceps War-A-bomb, swords, guns, missiles, vulture Animals are often used as symbols. It is important that students come to recognize some of the more common animal symbolism. Eagle-United States Stork-birth Bear-USSR or present day Russia Tiger-China Bulldog- England Vulture-death, war Camel-Middle East Dachshund-Germany Donkey-United States Republican Party Dove-peace Dragon-China Elephant-United States Democratic Party Fox-Japan Lamb-innocence, gentleness Lion-Britain Rat-ancient symbol of anything loathsome; disease Spider-intrigue 5 TECHNIQUE: RIDICULUS EXAGGERATION In this technique, the cartoonist will exaggerate something well beyond reality to stress their point or message. For example, a drawing of acid rain could be shown eating through the roof of a building. TECHNIQUE: CONTRAST In this technique, the cartoonist could choose one of two ways to show contrast. In the first method, the cartoonist will use size. People or objects are sometimes made out to be much bigger or much smaller than they are in reality. Large is used to represent something important or powerful while small is used to represent something unimportant, ineffectual, timid or quiet. Distortions of size are used to emphasize a problem. For example, a finance minister might be represented as a wrestler about to wrestle the deficit. The deficit may be represented by an immense, fierce-looking wrestler, while the finance minister is represented by a tiny figure. In the second approach the cartoonist contrasts light and dark. Most obvious examples would be to illustrate the present versus the past, good versus evil. In this example, the cartoonist uses contrast (size difference) to emphasize the huge amount of the Canadian deficit. It is not essential that students can identify the individual, although a clue is given on the club (individual’s name). 6 TECHNIQUE: IRONY AND SATIRE Satire is the use of sarcasm and irony to attack or ridicule a happening, an event, a decision or an idea. Satire is unsympathetic, abbreviated wit. Irony is used to express the opposite of their literal meaning. It is one way to make people stop and take notice. Often times, the question linked to the specific cartoon require the student to identify the irony. The irony in this cartoon is quite clear on two fronts. Although the individual is committed to halting global warming he is driving a vehicle which is a major contributor towards greenhouse gases. Secondly, and more importantly, we question whether global warming even exists as is evident by the huge snowfall shown in this cartoon. 7 In this cartoon the student must have some background historical knowledge to fully comprehend the ironic situation that is presented. This cartoon requires students to have a full understanding of the relationship between Hitler and Mussolini and the events of the 1930s and war years. 1. One irony to emerge from the context of this cartoon is that a. Mussolini would subsequently become dependent upon Hitler b. Hitler would refuse to support Mussolini’s aggression against Abyssinia c. Hitler and Mussolini would act jointly to preserve Austria’s independence d. Mussolini would disagree with Hitler’s diplomacy at the Munich Conference 8 TECHNIQUE: REVERSAL This technique involves reversing the usual or expected situation in order to catch our attention and make a point. For example, a bank clerk or a loans officer is shown holding up a customer to illustrate a point about high interest rates. We do not expect the World to be a bar patron and are caught by surprise. Instead of consuming alcoholic drinks the viewer observes the world consuming “oil”, their drink of choice. TECHNIQUE: HUMOUR In this technique the artist uses humour to make a serious event memorable. 9 INTREPRETING POLITICAL CARTOONS HISTORY Political cartoons first emerged as a distinct art form in the 1800s. The British magazine, Punch, began publication in 1841 and was followed by similar magazines in Canada and elsewhere. In the United States, political cartoons by such well-known cartoonists as Thomas Nast, became regular newspaper editorial features. In 1888, the Montreal Star hired Henri Julien as Canada’s first full-fledged cartoonist. However, J.W. Bengough was the nation’s most important early cartoonist and is known as the father of Canadian political cartoons. Bengough’s work contains many of the characteristics common to political cartoons: 1. Most cartoons deal with a single important issue such as an election campaign promise. 2. The cartoonist will use caricature or a well-known person or institution as the focus of attention. 3. Reading is kept to a minimum. A few words are used to drive home the idea. 4. The cartoonist’s point of view is presented. 5. There is the use of humour to inform and educate the viewer. Political cartoons generally are thought-provoking and strive to educate the viewer about a CURRENT issue. They have become extremely popular over time. The advantage of the political cartoon is that is reduces an entire article down to simple pictures. HOW TO INTERPRETE POLITICAL CARTOONS Step One: Identify the caricatures or symbols. Step Two: Identify the issue being exposed or criticized by the cartoonist. Step Three: Determine the point of view being expressed by the cartoonist. When examining a political cartoon the student should ask the following questions: 1. What issue is the subject of this cartoon? 2.

The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.

Library Cartoons: A Literature Review of Library-themed Cartoons, Caricatures, and Comics Abstract To understand differing views of past events, historians, political science scholars, and sociologists have analyzed political and editorial cartoons with themes ranging from elections to fiscal policy ot human rights. Yet scant research has been dedicated to cartoons with library themes. The author of this paper examines peer-reviewed literature on the subject of library cartoons, including historical background, analysis of recent themes, and arguments for promoting library-themed cartoons, caricatures, and comics. The author finds a significant gap in the literature on this topic and concludes that information professionals would benefit from a comprehensive content analysis of library-themed cartoons to enhance understanding of the significance of libraries during historic events, assess public perception of libraries, and identify trends over time.

  • The History of British Cartoons and Caricature Transcript
    The History of British Cartoons and Caricature Transcript Date: Monday, 4 October 2010 - 12:00AM Location: Museum of London Gresham Lecture, 4 October 2010 The History of British Cartoons and Caricature Lord Baker of Dorking First, I should congratulate you on coming today, in spite of the tube strike. It is a wonderful example of British grit and determination, and congratulations in beating Mr Bob Crow! Of course, the alternative that you did have available to you was to stay at home and watch the Conservative Party Conference on television. I think, on the whole, you have chosen wisely! Caricature is not an English word. The first time it was used in England was in 1748. It comes from the Italian “caricatura” and there is also a French verb, “carcare”. Those verbs mean to load, to burden, and to exaggerate. There were a few drawings made at the end of the 17th Century in Italy of grotesque figures, exaggerated caricatures, but it did not develop as an art form there at all. There is virtually nothing in 18th Century Italian art that could be described as caricature. It sort of fizzled out. Nor did it get established in France. Indeed, the Kings of France were quite clear that they did not like to be caricatured. One engraver, who depicted Louis XIV, the Sun King, in a disparaging way, was torn apart by four horses. That is a practice, which on the whole, discourages the dedication to a profession. Caricature started in Britain in the 1720s. Graphic satire is the only art form our country has created.

Figure 1 shows the ingenuity of great caricaturists. As it can be seen in the figure, there are a wide variety of ways for abstraction, sim- plification and exaggeration.

Lou Hishman’s Mussolini consists by Sebastian Kruger by Lenn Redman by Lou Hishman of a plunger and a shoe. Hirschfeld can draw an arm with a simple S shape.

Rice III, B.E.D., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Ergun Akleman The objective of my research is to identify and analyze the techniques of ex- aggeration, simplification, and abstraction used by caricature and cartoon artists. I apply these techniques to an expressive 3D modelling process which is used to create building caricatures. This process minimizes the number of unimportant details and increases the recognizability of the buildings. Additionally, the building caricature process decreases the time spent modelling the buildings and reduces their overall file sizes. The building caricature process has been used to create other building carica- tures, as well as interactive visualizations and 3D maps of the Texas A&M University campus. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Ergun Akleman, Dr. Dick Davison, and Dr. Jianer Chen for advising me on this thesis.

  • 1 Between Words and Images: Visual Satire, Libel Law and the Queen Caroline Affair Andrew Bricker, Ghent University on the Eve O
    Between Words and Images: Visual Satire, Libel Law and the Queen Caroline Affair Andrew Bricker, Ghent University On the eve of the Queen Caroline Affair, George Augustus Frederick, the Prince of Wales, was, to put it mildly, an unsympathetic figure. As the epitome of royal vice, The Times declared, the prince was widely known to “drink, wench and swear like a man who at all times would prefer a girl and a bottle to politics and a sermon.” Where did this image come from? In part the prince’s reputation as a lusty, gluttonous and profligate monarch in waiting was an obvious consequence of his own very public behaviour. But the widespread perception that the prince was a gouty gourmand and womanizer wastrel had also been propagated and reinforced by the thousands of satiric images that had appeared overs decades and had been openly circulated across metropolitan London.1 James Gillray’s pungent caricature A Voluptuary under the Horrors of Digestion (fig. 1) is an exemplary reduction of the prince’s many corporeal vices: there he sits, in an almost post-coital stupor, fork in mouth as his tenuously bound breeches labor against his pumpkin-shaped gut. From the 1780s on, the prince’s corpulent body was to be found on gruesome, almost anatomical public display, plastered up in dozens of print-shop windows. Onlookers, and especially Figure 1 foreigners, could hardly believe it. One visitor to London was shocked to discover that the printseller Hannah Humphrey’s shop--“a manufactory […for ] throwing off libels against” the crown--was just yards from the Royal Palace.2 1 See Kenneth Baker, George IV: A Life in Caricature (London: Thames & Hudson, 2005).
