11/10/2022 9:15 | Press Release
It has already become a tradition that October belongs to the cartoon jokes and caricatures of the well-known artist Pavel Kantorek at the Laundry Gallery at the community center of the same name. It is no different this year as well, when on Wednesday, October 5, 2022, it began with the participation of councilor JUDr. Petra Lachnita exhibition Grandma summer with humor 5. You can visit the exhibition until October 31, 2022.
The exhibition Babí leto s humor 5 was once again prepared by the InGarden Association in cooperation with the community center Prádelna and with the financial support of the Prague 5 Town Hall. The exhibition presents a cross-section of the author’s work in the form of 40 large-format prints, and thus offers well-known and lesser-known jokes, some of which have never been published before.

The exhibition also includes a biographical panel about the author with contact details for the InGarden association, which is the exclusive representative of Pavel Kantorek’s copyrights in the Czech Republic and promotes his work through exhibitions, the sale of prints and other items related to the author’s work.
New this year was the opening of the exhibition, at which an interview with Pavlo Kantorek was shown. A special feature of the opening was also a life-sized “blind” with a joke, which can be used for photography directly in the joke of Pavel Kantorek.
The author gave his characters of cats and dogs in cartoon jokes human qualities and often hid political allusions behind them, but he always knew how to turn the perspective of ordinary situations perfectly, which allows the audience to leave the burden of everyday life for a while and laugh heartily at it. His caricatures, depicting absurd situations with absolute self-evidentness, thus have a timeless validity.
