YOUNG KAFKA AT THE OPENING OF THE EXHIBITION OF JIRI SLIVA
About the exhibition of Jiri Sliva – currently perhaps the most successful cartoonist from the Czech Republic – in Washington DC, USA, we have recently reported on this site.
We have been pleased that Jiri Sliva sent us a few shots from the opening. We are happy to share them with you.

Opening of the exhibition “Kafka & Co.” – Jiri Sliva and the Ambassador of the Czech Republic in the United States Petr Gandalovic
As Jiri Sliva wrote us the biggest surprise occurred when he saw a musician who accompanied with his guitar the opening of the exhibition. We quote from the author’s email: “… I am sending you a photo of a young jazz guitarist who played at the opening of my exhibition. Incredible resemblance to Franz Kafka, that no one would ever designed!”
And here is the evidence (see photo below): The similarity of the young musician with Franz Kafka is really incredible. Thus, young “Kafka” played at the opening of the exhibition of Jiri Sliva “KAFKA & Co.”. Sometimes really strange things happen …

AN EXAMPLE FROM GÖTEBORG
About the fact that cartoons have the ability to beautify and sweeten our lives doubts hardly anybody. Nevertheless, this ability of cartoons is used in practice only very rarely. Therefore, we are always very pleased when we learn about the positive example in this area.
Swedish cartoonist Juraj Cajchan from Göteborg wrote us about his interesting and worth-following experience:
“The restaurant Gyllene Prag (Golden Prague) is one of the most popular in Göteborg. Few young Czechs and Slovaks after winning the lottery decided to open a restaurant with the motto “We do not cook gourmet wonders, you would be able to cook it too, but we will save your time and effort and it will not cost you too much”. People flocked there, especially students and artists.
I used to go there too and I always met some interesting people there. Sometimes I did drawing for them into the menu, and the fee in the form of food and good beer I consumed immediately on the spot.
After the recent enlargement of the premises, they instructed me to draw something in a relatively narrow space on the wall behind the desk. Therefore, I sat there at the table my two cartoon figures – a man and a woman, who will be there sipping red wine. Place over their heads I filled with their thoughts.
Since the majority of visitors are regular customers, I did not want to create there nothing that could be read immediately without interest, but something they have to think about several times. I made a drawing on A4 format, which was then photographically enlarged on paper (3 vertical stripes). I worried a little about the line thickness in such a zooming, but in the end I was quite satisfied with the result.
Sometimes I go there, but my glass of red wine does not remain eternally filled as with the two on the wall. But with this, I reconciled long ago.”
Juraj Cajchan

CRUEL GROTESQUES OF HENRYK CEBULA in PRESOV, SLOVAKIA
Poster of the exhibition of Henryk Cebula in Presov, Slovakia
*****
Opening of the exhibition collection of cartoons by Polish author Henryk Cebula has historical and sociological overlap. It was implemented after 75 years almost to the day of the decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the USSR to execute almost 26,000 Poles refusing collaboration with the Stalinist regime. Katyn forest became a mass grave of ideology of evil and a symbol of the Polish rebellion and pride. Three overshooting skulls of monkeys do not see, do not speak and hear no evil, symbolized by the author’s critical controversy with absolutely defined authorities. Cebula undermines social taboos and reveals mimicry of individuals hiding in the crowd. He sees a man in grotesque pose of pretended importance which is essentially weak and coward. Indifference of his characters against evil passes into his own cruelty and sarcastic annotation of life. Henryk Cebula is an author, teacher and curator of the Gallery Pirana in Przeworsk, Poland, he use to go regularly to Presov as a juror of competitions Golden Keg and Brain Sneezing – he says on the theme of the competition: “Man thinks, invents, and contemplates – he is heading to perfection and to the ideal. There is no man without brain… Does it make sense to make a mockery of the brain that is responsible for all our actions? There is emerging diversity of views, hovering over the spiritual values, but others have been taken from the sidewalk vulgarity … and there the brain becomes fecal waste. Cartoonists through their drawings endeavor to show to “brainless ones” that the brain exists and the satirical drawing owes for its existence just to it”.
The exhibition is realized with the support of the Polish Institute in Bratislava and you can visit it in the Wave Cafe in Presov, Slovakia, until 8 April 2015.

Master Milan Sladek is close to us also in the other direction – he himself with great pleasure and perfectly draws. We believe that soon we will be able to present even this area of his creative work.

ALICE IN CARTOONLAND
Lewis Carroll’s classic story “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” belongs to the most popular children’s books which has ever been published. The original book was illustrated by John Tenniel, the leading cartoonist of the humorous magazine Punch.

This remarkable exhibition curated by the President of the Lewis Carroll Society, Brian Sibley, shows how cartoonists, caricaturists, satirists, animators and graphic artists have over the years depicted the Alice’s adventures by reason of pointing political or social analogies or just to make people laugh. The exhibition presents artworks of great artists such as Low, Vicky, Shepard, Illingworth, Searle, Scarfe, Garland, Steadman, Bell, Rowson, etc. You will see also the posters of Alice by Gilroy advertising Guinness, cartoon strips featuring Flook and Snoopy, pages from comics and graphic novels and original animation art from film and TV.
During the run of the exhibition, there will be held a number of special events. The exhibition at the Cartoon Museum will last until 1st November 2015 – we highly recommend!

KREMNICA GAGS 2014, SLOVAKIA – RECAPITULATION
THE EUROPEAN FESTIVAL OF HUMOUR AND SATIRE KREMNICA GAGS 2014
The conclusion of summer 2014 was refreshed and cheered by the Kremnica gags, today already recognized and perhaps worldwide renowned multi-genre European Festival of Humour and Satire, which is unprecedented far and wide. Kremnica again became not only the town, located near the imaginary center of the European continent, but for a few days even the actual center of European humour.
Through the city gates were continuosly flowing crowds of enthusiastic spectators that watched a varied programs of the festival
The festival during many years of its successful existence had to contend with various eventualities; today the organizers can be surprised almost by nothing, everything worked accurately than well lubricated, perfectly set, reliable machine. And such an excellent organizational aspect of the festival provided a breeding ground for great professional performances of numerous participating artists from across Europe. Each year increases a number of great personalities and events at the festival; without any doubt can be said that the festival is every year better and to the proverbial perfection is already missing nothing at all. Behind this success is of course all year-long hard work of the organizational and dramaturgical team led by Jan Fakla and Roman Vykysaly who deserve our sincere admiration and gratitude.
