Bøger om Humour

A World of Moments ”Jan-Inge Wijk’s performance was an hour-long interlacing work of words and music, that were recited or sung. The pieces appeared for the listener as a poetic world of images with a clear, connected inner context. The texts are about love and evil, death and creation, but their effect rested to a high degree on intonation and language sounds. Despite the heavy, solemn title, Wijk’s work has become a lyrical world of ideas, where the philosophical expression combined with a good portion of humour gave the audience a pleasurable and good experience.” – Ole Lauritzen “As a whole it is undoubtedly a profound work. The music creates meanings when it collides with the texts, and the whole unfolds like a picture in time of man in individual glimpses, seen from the mythical god-perspective represented by the singers. Not only was it a stylish performance both on the dramatic and musical level. Here food for thought was also found.”– Review of Palimpsest in Fyens Stiftstidende Excerpt from the bookPrincess, oh!

Why did Uffe Ellemann Jensen, minister of foreign affairs, call “the talented cartoonists the most professional political spin doctors of our time”? Why did the architect and controversialist Poul Henningsen want more satirical drawings that “disintegrate public morale” and especially “patriotism and other sorts of self-abuse”? And why did the poet and novelist Klaus Rifbjerg ask “cartoonists to unite/ around his breakfast table”? Well over a thousand words have been said about illustrations – also about cartoons. By the cartoonists themselves as well as by the people like Eugène Delacroix, Oscar Wilde, James Thurber and David Wallis – and even by the one and only ChatGPT. And now also by Søren Vinterberg who has discovered quotes and added some new ones – illustrated by more than fifty members of The Danish Association of Cartoonists.
