Plantu, the famous French cartoonist, sent a cartoon to the students of Serbia through the "Vremena" portal, as an expression of solidarity and support. He is known in the world as a cartoonist who brought together Arafat and Shimon Peres
Caricature that we publish was drawn by the famous French cartoonist Jean Planturø, better known as Plantu, as an expression of solidarity and support students in Serbia.
It was exclusively forwarded to "Vremena" by Evropa Nostra and Evropa Nostra Serbia.
Plantou (1951) is a Parisian, known for cartoons specializing in political satire. His works have been regularly published in the daily newspaper Le Monde since 1972, when he published the first cartoon. She dealt with the Vietnam War.
So far, he has published more than 45.000 of them. He was called an "idealist humanist" because he fights with his pen against dictators, populists and sectarians, against violence against humanity and nature.
In 1991, during an exhibition of his cartoons in Tunisia, Plantou met Yasser Arafat, who was so impressed by his work that he drew a Star of David on one of his cartoons, colored it and signed it. The following year, Plantou traveled to Israel and convinced Shimon Peres to sign the cartoon as well. It was the first document to bear the signatures of the PLO and the Israeli government.
In 2006, Plantu organized a symposium in New York with the then Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, at which the Cartooning for Peace organization was founded. This association promotes freedom of expression for cartoonists worldwide and today has over 130 members.
More than 60 books of his cartoons have been published, and of the numerous exhibitions we mention only the retrospective "Dessins pour la Paix" (Drawings for Peace) which was held in 2016 at the Palace of Arts and Festivals in Dinard, organized by Cartooning for Peace and the city administration of Dinard.
He has received numerous awards, including an honorary doctorate from the University of Liège and membership in the Royal Academy of Belgium since 2016.
Plantu also received the Helena Vaš da Silva European Award for raising awareness of cultural heritage, established by Europa Nostra and its national representative office in Portugal, Centro Nacional de Cultura, in cooperation with the Portuguese Journalists' Club.
Plantou's work had a significant impact on political cartooning and freedom of expression, making him one of the most prominent cartoonists of his time.
