Romney, Obama “ready to rumble”
OK, people. Cast your vote for all of us in the Rest of the World and enjoy the next four years! (We are comfy this way, while you don’t pay too much attention to us, here down south).
Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will
December 31, 2011
Time to close another year. As I never was good at doing inventories of everything that happen to balance, I’ll just take one significant occurrence. If something, 2011 was the year of “the People occupying the Public Square”; Time magazine was right, for once. In Tunisia, in Egypt, in Israel, in Europe and in the […]
The Hope is gone, but OWS is coming
November 17, 2011
When I was asked to illustrate an article about the problems faced by Obama that render him overwhelmed I couldn’t help it but remembered the Time magazine’s cover that shocked me out back in 1978: A few days later, as I started reading a longtime procrastinated book by Harold Bloom (Omen of Millennium, translated into […]
Berlusconi, Italy and the Media Purgatory
October 13, 2010
I did this illustration (obviously inspired by Delacroix) for an article in the Argentine daily Río Negro which summarize another one published by “Foreign Policy”. But, unlike the original reference, the Argentine counterpart underscores the source of the unlimited power that allows Berlusconi to turn Italy into a “bordello” (brothel): his uncontested control of the […]
Schopenhauer and my will
September 24, 2010
This year 9-11 was very special for me. I was scheduled for surgery (hernia) for months and wanted to make completion of all the tasks that would not be able to meet later. To my surprise, two weeks before, I had some urgent work proposals from several points of the globe. This meant to do intensive exchange […]
Obama, Uncle Sam’s make-up aide
July 3, 2010
Some surveys registered an improve of the United States image among the Latin American populations. The worst figures notwithstanding are among the biggest three countries of the region: Argentina, Mexico and Brazil -in that order. Even so, this article sees a good opportunity (wasted by Obama himself) to improve USA’s relationship with its neighbors, via […]
Hitler, after the downfall
February 1, 2010
I did this one for a commentary of a book by Prof. Richard Bessel on the post-war Germany. As you can guess, I took inspiration from the wonderful characterization by Bruno Ganz in “The Downfall”. On a more personal side, from many years ago I was intrigued by this watercolor by the young Hitler when […]
David Levine, the teacher is gone
January 9, 2010
On December 29 passed away the great American artist who revived the journalistic caricature in the sixties and established the style for others until his retirement three years ago. Perhaps he regarded himself as a painter “who did caricatures for a living”. But his published works show the evidence of his true commitment with his […]
Swine flu media hysteria
June 7, 2009
Another take on the hysteria spread by the media (with a little help by the WHO). How many lives have terminated by this so called “pandemic” disease and how many by the capitalist crisis? I grew up in a world worried by the impending nuclear war. Then came the AIDS, the Ebola, the islamofobia and […]
