Caricaturist, Talal Nayer: The time of laughter is over!!
Interviewer: Musa Hamid
The cartoonist Talal NaYer is one of the creators of modern lines in caricature, his cartoons exceeded laughter and entertainment in this area. Nayer have visions and views in this matter. In this interview, we discussed with him the nature and usefulness of art
Tell us about your beginnings and who had the significant impact on you to practice caricature, especially at private and public level?
My first beginnings were very modest and normal, the ideas were simple and very superficial, when I go back to see it from time to time, I have discovered it was saturated with childishness and absurdity, and the lines are swaying confusedly. In fact, it’s me who has been shaking and confused, I do not know how and from where to begin? And at any point must I put my next steps.
As any immature artist, my first steps were staggering on the way of greater Sudanese school of caricature which found by the late caricaturist Ezzedeen Osman; from which most of Sudanese caricaturists emerged. But I was feeling dissatisfied and unable to keep up with it, I did not know why exactly. Do my weak skills as a beginner deprived me of required confidence then? Was the reason that I was still in the beginning of the road and I didn’t absorb the career well? Was the reason that there was no one to guide me?

Dear Friends
Yes, the questions you raise are important and difficult to resolve.
We too find a lot of duplication in cartoons submitted and
deas that have been clearly plagiarised.
As you say, it also becomes difficult to differentiate
between ‘real’ cartoons, posters, illustrations,
and other art works.
In terms of censorship, we would only censor cartoons which
we deemed to be racially discriminatory or deeply offensive
to a race of people or a nation,otherwise
we remain open to all opinions.
We do not censor what maybe considered not ‘real’ cartoons,
but they may be placed out of competition,
as not appropriate for a ‘cartoon contest’.
As far as the duplication of ideas and plagiarism is concerned,
this is the most difficult issue to deal with.
In such cases we try and choose the best executed version
in terms of technical skill, execution and visual humour.
Hope this is helpful
