Both were engaged in the task of ridiculing \u00a0and caricaturing government figures.\u00a0 For those reasons they were persecuted and they knew the jail. They used pseudonyms to protect their identities, although it did not serve them much usefulness<\/p>\n

\"Caras

The newspaper Don Quijote<\/a><\/strong> was a supporter organ opposed to the national government: A political group called “radicalism” that, from 1890, emerged as a dissident voice in the person of its founder Leandro N Alem. It was an alternative to hegemony of the conservative parties that were ruling at that time.\n\u00a0From that publication, humor is considered as a political tool. The founder of the Radical Party,<\/strong> Leandro N. Alem<\/a>, maintained that “the revolution of 1890 was made by arms and cartoons”\n\t

\u00a0Caras y Caretas Magazine<\/strong><\/h2>\nCame from Uruguay, where the Spaniard Eustaquio Pellicer<\/strong> had started it in 1890 as a festive, literary, artistic and news weekly.

Opinion by Luis Seoane <\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Painter & Artist made a biography of Cao where he said :\n“The figure that he drew was perfectly molded, he adhered to the laws of chiaroscuro, to the retouching. But more began with his work for the drawing of this country a schematic concision from which we could cite numerous examples. When they were designated “the father of the Argentine cartoon” they affirmed a truth and we are sure that they did not refer so much to their fruitful work, as to their quality of that work”\n“first it was Cao although his art had been developed in this nation. Castelao<\/a><\/strong>, our greatest humorist<\/strong>, thought so much and often conversations had what pleasure he was looking for as a child first in Argentina and then in Galicia the drawings of Cao. Certainly Castelao knew Cao much more than the drawings. Perhaps also many of his articles, essays and the thought that about Galicia Cao sustained his battle in the Galician collectivity.”\n\"\"\nAll the images correspond to the private collection of traveling-cook.com corresponding to the magazine Caras y Caretas year 1910<\/strong>\n\"Gold\nSee USA Vintage Ads<\/a> en other post\n
