Zitat des Tages über Karikatur / Caricature:

The best portraits are those in which there is a slight mixture of caricature. Thomas Babington Macaulay

A caricature is putting the face of a joke on the body of a truth.

Joseph Conrad

Researching real people and doing them, I think, is harder than anything else. You don't want to do a caricature of them and you don't want to do an impression. You just want to do the best you can, in terms of presenting their views and a general impression of the guy. That's the hardest thing to do, real people.

Stephen Root

If the KKK was smart enough, they would've created gangsta rap because it's such a caricature of black culture and black masculinity.

Jackson Katz

Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature. Our most difficult job was to develop the cartoon's unnatural but seemingly natural anatomy for humans and animals.

Walt Disney

I guess when I first started speaking with an American accent, there's a tendency to create a caricature of the accent because you just exaggerate the pieces that stand out to you.

Radha Mitchell

Caricature is rough truth.

George Meredith

I've always looked upon the Ducks as caricature human beings. Perhaps I've been years writing in that middle world that J.R.R. Tolkien describes, and never knew it.

What's natural is beautiful, and when you're not you anymore, you become a caricature.

Monica Bellucci

When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.

Ernest Hemingway

For me, the perfect film has no dialogue at all. It's purely a visual, emotional, visceral kind of experience. And I think one can create wonderful depth and meaning and communication without using words. I started out as an illustrator and a cartoonist and caricature artist, so for me the visual is primary.

Bill Plympton

Women are more difficult to caricature than men - partly because beauty is more difficult to caricature.

Steve Breen

Drag breaks the fourth wall, which is why it's never been quite accepted, because nobody wants to be told that they are really a caricature of themself and to not take yourself too seriously.

RuPaul

The world is a perpetual caricature of itself; at every moment it is the mockery and the contradiction of what it is pretending to be.

George Santayana

There is such a cliche to certain roles that all I can do is to try to make them realistic and work for the times, and so the audience actually won't see me as a caricature of something, but rather as an actual person.

Kelli O'Hara

Imitation is a caricature. Any imitation. Find out for yourself.

Vladimir Horowitz

I came to the conclusion months ago, and I said it to members of Congress, that the only way people are going to fully appreciate what this reform is if we pass it and implement it and it becomes not a caricature but a reality, and I still believe that. So I think it will be easier to sell it moving forward than it was to this point.

David Axelrod

When I draw my caricature self-portrait, I always do a huge smile.

Rolf Harris

You can parody and make fun of almost anything, but that does not turn the universe into a caricature.

Bernard Berenson

The problem became this: We became a caricature of ourselves. We were after light, and it began to look as though we were after heat, not to reveal some information or not to find out the story.

Mike Wallace

The best portraits are those in which there is a slight mixture of caricature.

Thomas Babington Macaulay

I like books that expose me to people unlike me and books that do battle against caricature or simplification. That, to me, is the heroic in fiction.

Zadie Smith

I do think there is a great deal of caricature around the House of Commons. It is just that kind of place.

Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

My public caricature - that of a self-confident alpha male - is only partly accurate.

I am a caricature of what British science is about in the way I work.

Martin Fleischmann

There are lots of people who believe that caricature of me the tabloids created, so they think they don't like me.

Jo Brand

Obama is trying to paint us as a caricature, as if we're some bizarre individualists who are hardcore libertarians. It's a false dichotomy and intellectually lazy. Of course we believe in government. We think government should do what it does really well, but that it has limits.

Paul Ryan

I am an extremely private person. I always feel that I come across as a caricature of myself whenever I do interviews.

Mia Kirshner

No actor can play a villain if they don't sympathise with him or her - otherwise the character just becomes a two-dimensional caricature.

Katie McGrath

In some ways, I feel like the strength of animation is in its simplicity and caricature, and in reduction. It's like an Al Hirschfeld caricature, where he'll use, like, three lines, and he'll capture the likeness of someone so strongly that it looks more like them than a photograph. I think animation has that same power of reduction.

Pete Docter

When I look at someone's face, there's something in my brain that just clicks - that breaks down their face into the elements that go into a caricature. It might be like the way a chef tastes a dish and can break down into elements what went into it.

Steve Breen

It turns out that the Republican Party is not a hero to anyone but the racist, xenophobic caricature of a candidate that is Donald Trump.

David Brock

You are free to reject God. Make sure that you're really rejecting God, not some caricature of God that the church has shown you. But I, one, respect a God who not only allows us to reject Him but includes the arguments we can use against Him in the Bible. I respect that.

Philip Yancey

For me, geopolitical issues are becoming more important, because how can you understand economy if you don't understand geopolitics? People think economists just deal with spreadsheets and charts. That's a narrow-minded caricature.

Nouriel Roubini

It's very easy for me to say what success is. I think success is connecting with an audience who understands you and having a dialogue with them. I think success is continuing to push yourself forward creatively and not sort of becoming a caricature of yourself.

Lena Dunham

The caricature of what George Osborne is doing on the fiscal side is absurd. If you read some of the commentary, particularly from the left, you would think he was turning the clock back to the 1930s.

Nick Clegg
