The world’s best cartoons were on display at Centro Colombo, within the project “Art Arrived at Colombo”, in this edition dedicated to the theme “Roy Lichtenstein and Pop Art”, by invitation of State of the Art. The exhibition showcased a selection of the 50 best works of World Press Cartoon 2018, representing authors from 27 countries, from all continents.
The Exhibition “Top50 of World Press Cartoon 2018 ” offered an opportunity to observe in detail the Cartoons that make up a humorous portrait of the world, whose matrix is the critique of the current media. Artist Roy Lichtenstein used the aesthetics of primary colors and black features as well as the comic’s own humor to create some of his most famous works.
The selection of the 50 best works was carried out by the jury of World Press Cartoon, the largest international event in the editorial cartoon scene, which awards drawings published in newspapers or magazines around the world.
Rui Paulo da Cruz, journalist and cartoonist, was one of the founders of World Press Cartoon and is one of its jury members.
