The French impressionist Edgar Degas, who lived in the 19th century, once said, "Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." In fact, artists frequently convey a message through their elaborate works that elicit a wide range of feelings, including surprise, delight, rage, and others.

Arts make us notice things we haven't noticed yet or, in certain situations, aren't willing to, as the statement says. The cartoons and caricatures of Austrian artist Gerhard Haderer portray some difficult facts.

His sarcastic portrayals of modern society are frequently correct while also being brutally honest. Some people believe that Gerhard Haderer, who was born in Leonding, Austria, is the greatest caricaturist and cartoonist in the German-speaking world.

He has experience working for advertising agencies as a graphic artist, draughtsman, and illustrator, as well as being a self-employed cartoonist and satire illustrator. The artist has tackled a wide range of subjects during his varied career, including politics, religion, and even veganism.

He has also been featured in many periodicals. To give you an idea of what he was attempting to convey through his artwork, we have included a few of them in this collection.

So, keep scrolling to check out the thought-provoking photos below.

4. You still want to dive in

5. Grandpa's still grinding

6. No one wants to live in the moment

7. That is a high throw

8. Shove it all in

Haderer frequently addresses delicate subjects such as politics in his writings in addition to religion. He also illustrates pertinent societal issues, such as consumerism and the detrimental effects of technology on daily life, as demonstrated by the cases on this list.

The artist's frank and honest portrayals of our society are not entirely without merit. A selfie taken by someone right in the middle of danger, for instance, demonstrates the lengths individuals will go to in order to get the perfect shot.

Regretfully, tragedies might occasionally result from it.

Accepting undesirable but factual facts can be a bitter pill. This is the reason why certain people frequently find some works of art to be contentious or even offensive.

Even so, contentious art may benefit society since it frequently sparks meaningful conversations and brings about constructive change. So share this post with your loved ones if you enjoyed the collection.
