Romanian cartoons highlight the cracks in the world order

The works of Romanian cartoonist Dan Perjovschi are on show at the New York Museum of Modern Art until August and at the internationally renowned Venice Biennale art exhibition. Filon Morar writes about the artist: "Dan Perjovschi's inspiration is marked by the kind of intellectual curiosity which can only be experienced beyond the world of television. At the same time he expresses his views on the social and political problems of our times, unlike many other intellectuals who only criticise from the point of view of observers. Perjovschi, on the other hand, mixes with his countrymen and takes a genuine interest in what's happening in Romania. Ironically, it's the absurdity of the communist regime that has shaped his deep desire to reveal the truth. There was a time when jokes were used to reveal the truths about the regime. Today, Perjovschi's drawings serve as an outlet; they highlight the cracks in the world order."
