Distortion Through the Ages

Caricature's origins are as old as humor itself, traced back to when ancient artists realized that drawing their pharaoh with slightly larger ears got a few chuckles around the pyramid. But, it was during the Renaissance that artists like Leonardo da Vinci began to skew proportions and features for a laugh, proving that even the grand masters enjoyed a good giggle.

Caricature’s Pop Culture Debut

As the centuries rolled by, caricature art didn't just stick to dusty old sketchbooks. Oh no, it evolved, taking its rightful place in newspapers, political cartoons, and even glossy magazines. Fast forward to the 19th century, and we find the likes of Honoré Daumier using caricature to poke fun at politicians and social elites. Think of it as the Twitter of its day, but with way more skill involved.
