From Leonardo to Levine Caricature and satire

An exhibition of drawings and engravings of satires and caricatures made by famous artists from the Renaissance to our days. This exhibition can be visited from now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The works on display are part of the work of painters, famous artists and writers of their respective times, and indeed of all times, since we are talking about the greatest, among them: Leonardo Da Vinci, Goya, Delacroix, Enrique Chagoya and Toulouse-Lautrec, whom among many others who devoted part of their work to humor and satirizing  political, religious personages of these and other fields. Cartoon work of these renowned artists, was born perhaps with Leonardo Da Vinci, but cartoons have always existed from long before Leonardo´s sketches, and have been seen as an exaggeration of certain physical characteristics, such as an exaggerate appearance and a twisted body language to express in a grotesque way the political or social character or person who is drawn. Thus, the Metropolitan Museum has collected a large number of these works, many never exhibited before in any museum, making this exhibition unique and which started on September 13th and ends just past March 4th, 2012. In addition to the acclaimed artists mentioned, the exhibition includes  part of another group of famous cartoon artists such as Thomas Rowlandson, James Gillray, Honoré Daumier, Al Hirschfeld and David Levine, the latter a contemporary artist known for his work as an humorous illustrator for the “New York Review of Books” and is considered by many as the best cartoonist of the second half of the twentieth century.

9 / 11, 10 years later

What happened on September 11 was beyond the human tragedy and understanding. Thousands of lives lost to a violent act, which affected the whole world, and indeed, we still live the consequences until today, without having been able to control or improve the political situation in the United States. Therefore, the effect of World Trade Center bombing reverberated like a wave of fear and violence for most of the world. What Bush called his “War on Terror” continues to this day despite changes of government, the Obama administration and beyond. The execution of Saddam Hussein, the recent death of Osama Bin Laden, none of these deaths finally resolves the large scar left in the collective unconscious of September 11. In addition to the deaths of thousands of people, September 11 is probably the best prepared terrorist operation in the history. At a performative or conceptual level, the implementation of this operation is more complex than one can think. The date was chosen considering the 911 related to the emergency number used in the United States. What other way to get deeper into the collective unconscious so violently. The 911, is the number you dial in a country like America, where violence and access to weapons are daily meal. Each time you dial this number, people inevitably remember this horror day. Similarly, the World Trade Center with its two main towers is an allusion to that number, 11, two lines are set to high. The collapse of two towers, the fall of what they represent, as the columns of the global economy, now is the echo of the global crisis,...
