That prominent (C) thingy in the image has me worried. Although the artist's web site has no copyrights (that I saw) Marteau TEE HEE The whole purpose of the (C) is to prevent people from reproducing it in an unauthorized manner, ie: printing it out. According to the artist, this use is okay. -- J.J.


 * To Jordan: it doesn't matter if the artist has copyright notices or not. If he drew it, he owns the copyright. Copyright notices are to prevent accidental infringement. To J.J.: okay, if you got permission this is fine. I'll remove it from votes for deletion. Next time, indicate that permission was granted on the image description page. -- Tim Starling 06:32 Apr 14, 2003 (UTC)


 * The permission really is irrelevent. The copyright sign is horrible. I have removed the picture from the article. There are lots of free caricatures available. Put one in. Justinc 18:20, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Anime Caricature
Where can I find someone to do an Anime caricature of me? --Shultz 15:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Contact me on my User Page. You can see about 20 or so pieces of my artwork, about half of which are caricatures. Though none are rendered in an anime style, I can easily produce one in that style if you want. Nightscream 02:52, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Caricature and cartoon
So what is the difference between caricature and cartoon? Is caricature by definition included as cartoon or the same as cartoon or else? Can probably somebody explain about the relation between cartoon and caricature in this article? Thank you. sentausa 11:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Done. Nightscream 02:49, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

A caricature is sometimes just considered a bad portrait by the unsophisticated. Many people do not understand what a caricature is. If you view a celebrity caricature, such as a Elvis Caricature, many artists will have different approaches to portraying Elvis. All the caricatures will have a similarity of the Elvis likeness.

Christopher Rommel?
Should there be a section about Chris Rommel? Just thinking. . . 2602:306:C408:F590:DD88:8A0D:92FF:307C (talk) 09:43, 28 July 2016 (UTC) 2602:306:C408:F590:DD88:8A0D:92FF:307C (talk) 09:44, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Uhh..
This article has way too many images. --Joffeloff 20:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Not anymore, now, theres not enough images, if theres going to be an article on caricatures, i suggest we put ACCEPTABLE examples, as opposed to the medieval looking pictures shown in the article, do they look like caricatures to anyone? This is ridiculous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.168.233.63 (talk) 05:24, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Danish/Norwegian - Middle east Caricature crisis
tee hee

Shouldnt it be mentioned?

Further names of note?
Mention might be made of the French trio Jean-Claude Morchoisne, Jean Mulatier and Patrice Ricord. The three worked out the same studio in Paris throughout the Seventies and early Eighties and their highly-rendered drawings came to dominate French newspapers and magazine covers, in the same way Gerald Scarfe held sway over the British scene around the same time. Subsequently the three have gone on to develope their own series of highly-popular caricature albums, with Morchoisne in particular developing a style that often transforms familiar figures into animals or inanimate objects.

Gerald Scarfe, aside from his legendary covers for Private Eye and work in film and theatre (Pink Floyd's The Wall; Disney's Hercules) was exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2004. Heroes & Villains featured caricatures of some of the most and least admired figures from British history. tee hee

The Scottish Cartoon Art Studio received similarly high-profile treatment in 2006 when their caricatures where exhibited for three months in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh. The show was entitled Fizzers: the Alternative Portrait Gallery and marked the first time the caricature art form had been showcased in such a way in the country.


 * And not one woman on the list. Hard to imagine there isn't one notable woman in the history of caricature artists.  I'm new to this topic, but I plan to do some research and add at least one. Air (talk) 17:42, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

For example what?
From the section Computerized caricature and formal definition of caricature:


 * There have been efforts to produce caricatures automatically or semi-automatically using computer graphics techniques. For example[2] provides warping tools specifically designed toward rapidly producing caricatures.

The "[2]" part points to a footnote. The footnote is a reference, but it does not name the program that the sentence is talking about, so it is still nonsensical. Does anybody know? - furrykef (Talk at me) 00:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Levine-david.1.gif
Image:Levine-david.1.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:MAD223.jpg

Spitting Image
I see there's no mention of Spitting Image in this article, which is surprising to me given it was one of the most memorable caricature programs on British television (yes, I know, this site isn't particularly "British", but still!). It would certainly be relevant as a clear example of a televisual caricature. Wokstation (talk) 20:38, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Caricature of Jimbo?
tee hee

Does anyone have a caricature of Jimbo Wales? I think that would be extra appropriate to add here. Thanks. --Let Us Update Special:Ancientpages. 10:13, 4 January 2010 (UTC)oh i almost forgot TEE HEE--24.190.193.83 (talk) 14:00, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[[

Al Hirschfeld's view
I don't have the quote, but Al Hirschfeld did not consider himself a caricaturist. I believe he saw it as something of a put-down -- though I doubt his fans feel that way.

To my mind, a true caricature "comments on" the subject's character or personality. The example you show of a portrait done by a street artist is a cartoon -- not a caricature. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 12:36, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Reference to talents-productions.com
Trying to track down mentions of Talents & Productions on WP (because someone uploaded a picture of their founder to Commons, but didn't categorize it), I came across a citation here to their website, talents-productions.com. It was added in Jan 2012 by User:Nileena joseph and appeared to be a verbatim copy of a paragraph from their website, mentioning an obscure Kerala cartoonist that Nileena joseph appeared to be interested in (based on user_talk conversations). The page is now gone from the website, as was the mention of the cartoonist from WP. I've now removed the whole paragraph, as it doesn't seem to add much to the article, and isn't actually sourced from anywhere. The whole thing is quite odd, so I thought it worth documenting here on the talk page. JesseW, the juggling janitor 06:29, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

definition of caricature
"A caricature is a rendered image showing the features of its subject in a simplified or exaggerated way".

The word "simplified" should be deleted, because caricature is allways exaggerated.

I think the better definition for caricature is just: "An exaggerated portrait". Teponteppo (talk) 07:01, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Pompeiian caricature authenticity
The supposedly ancient image of the "pompeiian politician" seems to me to be slightly questionable; the premise seems humorous but more than that I could not find any independent source on the Internet on the image exept those which may have simply taken up the idea from this article. Now, I am not saying that it is a hoax - it may well have been verified multiple times, my reaserch has not been extensive. However, I wish to see some hard evidance that this could not simply be an Internet hoax. Aardwolf A380 (talk) 07:26, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
