Previous exhibitions - 100 cartoons without words (Carlos Brito - France)
From 10 april till 19 june 2016
Carlos Brito was born in Lisbon in 1943 and moved in 1963 to Paris for political reasons. He studied sociology and followed no artistic training.
His career from 1957 to 1979 can best be described as '12 trades and 13 accidents', with all sorts of jobs in Germany, France and Portugal. In 1970 his first cartoon was published in 'Rouge'. He worked for several Portuguese newspapers and magazines and since 1980 he has been press cartoonist in France. He drew among others for "Le Monde" and "Le Canard Enchaîné". Cartoons who, for whatever reason, were not published were given a place on his blog. Even after his retirement Brito remains very active in the cartoon world.
He had exhibitions in many European countries, and also in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Japan ... and was a jury member in cartoon competitions as Greekartoon, World Press Cartoon, Don Quichotte, Piracicaba, Niels Bugge, Bienal Internacional de Humorismo Grafico Cuba ... In 2004 he received the "Grand Prix de l'Humour Vache" in Saint-Just-le-Martel. He has published several books as "Brito Non Conforme", "Brito Édition Spéciale", "NON de dieux" ... He is currently vice president of FECO (Federation or Cartoonists Organizations).
You can visit the exhibition in the ECC from 10 April till 19 June 2016, every Sunday from 10 to 12 am and from 2 to 5 pm. Groups of 10 persons or more are welcome on other days by appointment.
