        Dosh – Seven Political Caricatures

        Est: -

        Seven original caricatures by Dosh (Kariel Gardosh). [Israel, ca. 1950s-1960s]. Felt-tip pen, ink and correction fluid on paper. Dosh is the pseudonym of Karl (Kariel) Gardosh (1921-2000). He was born in Budapest; after finishing high school in Budapest, he studied at the University of Szeged. With the outbreak of WWII, he was sent to a forced labor camp. Upon his return to Budapest after the war, he discovered that his parents and most of his family had perished in the Holocaust. In early 1946, he left Hungary and moved to Paris where he studied comparative literature at the Sorbonne. In 1948, Gardosh immigrated to Israel, changed his name to Kariel, joined the Lechi and found work drawing caricatures for its journal, HaMa'as. Gardosh was arrested following the murder of Folke Bernadotte, and after his release, he worked as the graphic editor of the magazine HaOlam HaZe. In 1953 he joined Maariv, where he published a daily caricature for many years. Gradually he started writing articles, stories and skits for the newspaper. He also wrote for the Hungarian-language newspaper Új Kelet (The New East). In 1956, Dosh first created the figure of Israelik, who became a popular symbol of the State of Israel and its people. Later, the name Israelik was shortened to Srulik (see item 262). Most of these caricatures feature Srulik, representing the State of Israel, and deal with the military conflicts with Egypt, Israel's inner politics, Israel's relations with other countries and the Six-Day War. Some of them were captioned by Dosh or bear printing instructions in pencil and in pen. Approx. 18X22 cm to 19.5X32.5 cm. Good condition. Yellowing paper. Stains. Creases. Fold lines. Minor closed and open tears, some restored, mostly not affecting the caricatures. Large open tears at the edges of two leaves, not affecting the caricatures. Torn filing holes.

        Collection of Original Caricatures by Dosh

        Est: -

        Collection of original caricatures and sketches by Dosh, 1959-1962. Dosh is the pseudonym of Kariel Gardosh (1921-2000). Born in Budapest by the name of Karl Gardosh (originally: Goldberger) where he finished high school, and later began academic studies in the University of Szeged. When World War II broke out, he was sent to a labor camp. After the war, after returning to Budapest, he discovered that his parents and most of his family had perished in the Holocaust. At the beginning of 1946, left Hungary for Paris where he studied literature at the Sorbonne. In 1948, Gardosh ascended to Eretz Israel, changed his name to Kariel, joined the Lechi and drew caricatures for its journal, HaMa'as. Due to his lack of fluency in the Hebrew language, he chose to join the Hebrew media as a caricaturist. After the murder of Folke Bernadotte, Gardosh was arrested and after his release, he worked as the graphic editor of the magazine HaOlam HaZe. (In 1953, he was injured when a bomb was thrown at the magazine headquarters). That same year, he joined the Ma'ariv staff and published a daily political caricature in the newspaper for many years. Eventually, he began to write articles, stories and skits, and at the same time wrote for the Hungarian language newspaper Új Kelet (The New East). In 1956, Dosh first created the figure of Israelik, which became so very popular representing the State of Israel and the typical Israeli Tzabar. Later, the name was shortened to Srulik. This collection includes the following items: * 110 caricatures for newspapers from 1960-1962. They were published in the Ma'ariv newspaper and in the Hungarian language Israeli newspaper Új Kelet. These caricatures are final versions (ink on paper), with printing instructions. The titles are usually handwritten in pencil. Sometimes, a text in Hungarian is pasted on the Hebrew text for publication in Új Kelet after its publication in Ma'ariv. Srulik appears in most of the caricatures. The caricatures deal with a variety of political, state and social topics on the agenda at the 1960s. They include the relations with the USSR, the Algerian Jews, inflation, leaving Israel for countries abroad (yerida), Haifa port workers' strike, the abduction of Yossele Schuchmacher, the second Geneva Convention etc. All were drawn on regular paper leaves, besides seven caricatures, which were drawn on heavy Bristol paper (three are especially large - 25X70 cm. 35X49 cm. 35X40 cm.). ** 47 sketches, from 1959-1962: Pencil sketches, a sketch for a poster advertising the film "The Third Side of the Coin" (watercolor on paper), advertisement for an "electric water heater" (ink on paper), advertisements for the Telma Company (pencil on paper), caricature with dedication to Minister Abba Eban (ink on paper), several sketches for an advertisement poster, for scenery for the program "Cat in the Sack" of the Batzal Yarok (Green Onion) theatre and entertainment troupe. ** Approximately 13 various leaves: Letters sent to Dosh, a letter to Abba Eban, illustrations in honor of the doctors and nurses of Asuta Hospital (including illustrations depicting backaches and respiratory-problems), and other items.
