What is the cartoon?
cartoon is an exaggerated portrait of a person or group in visual or literary form. The cartoon is actually quite ancient art, and some examples of cartoons are thousands of years old, from Aristophanes to the editorial side of local paper. This artistic form is quite diverse, with a number of famous practices in history, from Leonardo da Vinci to Thomas Nas. You will probably find an example of a cartoon in your vicinity, especially if you have paper at hand, because most political cartoons use cartoons. As the Italian root suggests, the cartoon is an exaggerated portrait with a charged or dual meaning, which can be quite complex, especially in the hands ofmaster. For example, someone who is known to have a very distinctive nose can find the size of this nose grossly exaggerated in the cartoon. Teeth, lips and ears can also be blown out of the proportion in the cartoon, leading some people to call the resulting grotesque or unpleasant image.
Many political cartoons use a cartoon to take home a point. For example, during the Edwardian era, the criticism of the rich showed extremely fat people who were licking on the bed of money, which made satirical and sharp commentary about the upper classes. Many people are at least vaguely familiar with the physical appearance of the main politicians, making the cartoon a highly effective form, although they do not fully understand the details of the problem that the cartoon emphasizes.
As well as other forms of satire and comics, the cartoon is protected by law in many areas along with other freedoms of expression. This may sometimes result in quite a controversy, as in 2005, when the Danish newspaper gave a number of cartoons of the Muslim prophet Muhammad (peace with him) and lit a global rage between Muslims who found insulting images. The cartoon was also a famous forum for racist stereotypes, as seen in the cartoon versions of African -Americans published inThe United States well within the 20th century or in the paintings of caricatured Jewish people used in the propaganda campaigns of the German government during World War II.
