Carlos Latuff Biography

Carlos Latuff is one of the most popular and richest Cartoonist who was born on November 30, 1968 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Brazilian political cartoonist Carlos Latuff was born 30 November 1968. His cartoons cover a variety of topics, including anti-Zionism and anti-globalization. He also opposes U.S. military interventions. His images of the Israeli- Palestinian war and the Arab Spring events are his most well-known works.

Latuff was second in 2006 for his cartoon that compared the West Bank barrier to Nazi concentration camps. This was part of the Iranian “International Holocaust Cartoon Competition”. Manfred Gerstenfeld called Latuff’s entry “Holocaust Inversion”, a “motif of antisemitism.”

Since the end of 2010, he has been consistently engaged in producing cartoons about the Arab Spring in which he openly sided with the revolutionaries. After the victory of revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya his cartoons about these countries have focused on the menace of counter-revolution or Western interference. Some of his cartoons have been displayed in mass demonstrations in Arab countries.

In 2011, Latuff was contacted by activists in Egypt. Latuff stated that he was encouraged when he saw some of his cartoons depicted in the January 25 Egyptian protests, a couple of days after he made them. According to Reuters, this helped him become “a hero of the tumultuous Arab Spring with rapid-fire satirical sketches”.

The Stephen Roth Institute’s 2003 Annual Report compared Ariel Sharon’s cartoons to the “antisemitic caricatures” of Philipp Rupprecht in Julius Streicher’s Der Sturmer. SRI also complained about a cartoon that featured Che Guevara, an Argentinian revolutionary, in a Palestinian keffiyeh.

They were very happy with them. After this experience, he decided that he would start a website and engage “artistic activism”. Graham Fowell, former chairman of the Cartoonists Club of Great Britain compares his work with Banksy, an English-based artist, activist, and filmmaker.

In 2002, the Swiss-based Holocaust survivors group Aktion Kinder des Holocaust sued Indymedia of Switzerland for antisemitism. They published Latuff’s cartoon entitled We are all Palestinians series on their website. It featured a Jewish boy from the Warsaw Ghetto who said: “I am Palestinian.” Swiss courts suspended the criminal proceedings.

In an interview with the Jewish-American weekly newspaper The Forward in December 2008, Latuff responded to charges of antisemitism and the comparisons made between his cartoons and those published in Der Stürmer in Nazi Germany:
