Invitation to the Competition „Dieter Burkamp Award for Caricature“
In
rememberance of Dieter Burkamp (18.1.1940- 15.6.2012) there will be for the
first time an international competition of caricature. A Jury of experts will
ascertain three winners from among the involved artists and choose all works
which are to be presented in an exhibition.
Dieter
Burkamp has always been enthusiastic about the varied styles in caricature,
this inspiring combination of art and journalism. He collected, promoted,
organized exhibitions, edited catalogues and fought for the artificial quality
of satirical art in many jurysessions. Unforgotten the projects, he supported
or founded: „Herman the German“; „Neighbours- German artists look at Poland,
Polish artists look at Germany“; 100 years „Dropping the pilot“(„ Der Lotse
geht von Bord“) in ‚Punch‘; „Ten New Europeans; Home- Confessions and Views“.
All
his life Dieter Burkamp was thankful for the experience of numerous and deep
friendships with artists and organizers of the meetings of caricaturists. The
award is dedicated to his legacy, first as a private initiative, after a
successful start may be continued on a more general base.
