A caricature is an exaggerated, usually comical, portrayal of a person or subject. Originally, caricature was an artistic term. Artists painted portraits of people, exaggerating specific features to produce a silly portrait. When applied to writing, caricature means that the writer has exaggerated aspects of a person or subject to create humor.

What does caricature mean in art?

A caricature is a painting, or more usually drawing, of a person or thing in which the features and form have been distorted and exaggerated in order to mock or satirize the subject.

Caricatures first became a popular genre of fine art in the 16th and 17th century and were created by satirists to ridicule public figures and politicians (a caricature with a moral message is considered a satire). They continue to remain popular today, and are used in magazines and newspapers to poke fun at film stars, politicians and celebrities. The only thing that has changed is the artist tools. Initially caricaturists used charcoal drawings, pencil or pen and ink drawings, but today an artist has access to graphics programs.

Caricaturists have wielded significant power with their pen, far more so than a writer ever could. In the early days of the genre they transmitted messages without the need for the written word, important at a time in history when the majority of the population could not read.

Today, as a result, we still think of him as being shorter than he really was. Caricatures may be one of the most populist forms of art, but as figurative drawings they are typically just as skillful as and more influential than most portrait paintings.
