SPIEGEL emphasizes the importance of humor and reminds that this type of art is often considered "inferior". Humor is a powerful means that enables art to communicate in a deeper way.

humor in art has a long history and not only reflects the personal sensations of the artists, but also social issues. The Dada movement brought a turning point at the beginning of the 20th century by putting humor and irony to the fore to question social conventions. Contemporary artists such as Banksy and Maurizio Cattelan use humorous elements to treat political issues, often use dark humor to show grievances. artsper explains that humor in art often serves as a defense mechanism against the serious topics of today and that enables a diversity to escape from reality.

The "Cartoonair by the Sea" Festival is therefore more than just an art exhibition; It is an experience that stimulates dialogue about humor and social issues. It invites us all to pause and think about the challenges of life with a smile. Visitors can look forward to a colorful mix of art, fun and thoughtfulness - a perfect leisure program for the summer!
