25th International Biennial of Art
Humour TOLENTINO
ITALY

Deadline: March, 27 2009

“THE CHILDREN ARE WATCHING US” (�and laughing at us)

The art of the cartoon is play in its pure state.

In a essay by B. Bettelheim on the importance of play in children,
 this passage by Freud has been quoted: “The favorite
and most intense occupation of a child is play.
Perhaps one can say that a child at play behaves like a poet,
 in that he creates a world of his own, or rather he re-arranges
the things of his world in a new way that pleases him”.

There was Mr Bonaventura, ingenuous child-adult and Bibi & Bibo
 (the Katzenjammer Kids), two urchins addicted to playing
cruel pranks. And then, in more recent years, the world of Charlie Brown,
 Linus and Snoopy, with their unforgettable domestic-philosophical
view on the adult world. And today the Simpsons –
 a mixture of irony, cruelty and the everyday nature of urban life.

The world of the comic is often directed at children and their games,
 in order to illustrate the world of adults.

“The Children Are Watching Us” was the title of a film that De Sica
wrote together with Cesare Zavattini in 1943. Beyond the content of the plot
 (a beautiful melodrama�), the title was well-chosen as it captured in
 the bedlam that is our adult world (even more relevant today than then�),
 a certain perspective on life which was like a ray of light;
a spotlight that illuminates the dark.
