Humor and satire – visual communication strategies in children's editions

Abstract

This article aims to present various aspects of the involvement of satire and humor in the making of illustrations for children's magazines and book editions. The use of caricature specific techniques in the graphic expression of the narrative thread of literary works is specific to a few local artists such as Alexei Grabco, Filimon Hamuraru, Sergiu Puica. The inclusion of humorous-satirical solutions is important because, on the one hand, it ensures that young readers remember the text and experience good feelings, and on the other side, the illustrations represent the artists' multidisciplinary evolution.
