11th International Salon
Diògenes Taborda prize.
History:
Considering the launching of the “In the memory of Buenos Aires” program, sponsored by the city of Buenos Aires Government. Destinated to capture the historical and cultural values in each neighborhood, Jorge Volpe Stessens creates the Diògenes Taborda Mercosur salon.
This prize is inaugurated every year on the 21st of September due to celebration of the “Spring Day”.
Diògenes Taborda is the only cartoonist honored by a Mayor by naming a street in Buenos Aires after him, after his death in 1926.
Diògenes Taborda had that gift which has always characterized and distinguished the worlds greatest draftsmen, I will be recognized after his steps on the pages of “La Crìtica” he under covered a whole world of suggestion, he made a whole world of humorism flourish when graphically relating an episode, the tip of his pencil put aside maliciously and by stealth, the veil of the human life scenery, and let us see in a small detail a whole big drama as saying: look at what happens. And he did all this smiling and without effort, because he was funny in the Spanish meaning of the word. He made his drawings with the nudity of the nimble, the grace was for him, as for all great artists, an economy of effort.
Diògenes Taborda cooperated with the sketches of “El Apostol” a satirical cartoon movie, done by the pioneer Quirino Cristiani (Extracted from the book “History of the graphic and written humor “, author Oscar Vazquez Lucio (Siulnas)).
