What is a caricature

Caricature is a genre of fine art in which the heroes of the work are drawn in a satirical or humorous form. In the caricature, the author deliberately distorts the facial features and figures, the behavior of the characters in order to ridicule them. The comic effect is also achieved through methods of artistic exaggeration and unexpected juxtaposition of well-known facts. Caricature has always remained an extremely important genre of fine art for society. She is liked by viewers of different ages, genders and social status, conscientiously fulfilling her functions.
