Carlo Schmitz

Born in 1959, carlo is a caricaturist working for the magazine forum; he was an art teacher at the Lycée de Garçons Esch/Alzette. Studied at the Académie royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels and at the Institut d’Arts plastiques in Strasbourg. In 1977, carlo starts drawing for the weekly paper Revue. From 1985 until the mid-nineties, he regularly publishes his works in the magazine forum, a task he takes up again in 2010. His socio critical drawings are a good fit for this magazine, covering social topics without taking political sides. carlo’s caricatures do not necessarily illustrate and reflect the message of a text or article; they allow for an independent „reading“. Humoristic or not, carlo always considers his caricatures as an important and educational tool to convey information in the everlasting fight against obscurantism.
