Tuzla, 1937- 2023.
He was one of the great artists of Eastern Europe. He began publishing in 1964, in Bosnia and abroad, and immediately stood out for his cultured and elaborate caricatures and satirical drawings. He also illustrates many books for adults and children, as well as working on the design of theater and television sets and costumes. Awarded several times in international events, Palme d'Oro in Bordighera in 1980, during the Balkan war he lived for some years as a refugee, with his family, in Western Liguria. With a strong sense of humor, often tinged with the grotesque, he combined a great mastery of the pastel drawing technique, managing to create a unique imaginary world.
ASSOCIAZIONE SALONE INTERNAZIONALE UMORISMO
The event could not have lasted for over fifty years without the contribution of numerous "volunteers" and "precepts" who brought enthusiasm and desire to do whatever the task received, with nineteenth-century shifts! From the choice of the drawings, to the preparation of the panels (always the same every year), to the posting with various pins of the hundreds of drawings up to the presence on stage.
We therefore want to thank, in absolutely no order but with equal contributions, all those who come to mind, apologizing if we miss some, but we are ready to fix it!
