Title: La "cachada" de Ruz
Description: Ruz (ne: Carlos Alfredo Ruiz Moisa b. Salvador 1959) is a painter; sketcher andcaricaturist graduated from the Centro Nacional de Artes (CENAR) whose political caricatures were and are still published in the editorial pages of El Salvador's most importantnewspapers: from 1986 to 1996 in La Prensa Gráfica and since 1998 in El Diario de Hoy. The present editorial project comprises 5 books (4 published before) thatbring together his most memorable humor and sarcastic creations. David Escobar Galindocomments "Ruz rescues broad scenarios of life in a narrative cartoon that causes hilarity andreflection. And as his characters speak, whether human or not, there is the popular picaresquesoul laughing by itself, as it should be. Ruz being a man without dogmatic hates adoration willnot use of the weapon to which the evil and the resentful prefer: hurtful sarcasm. In Ruz thereis irony, playfulness, teasing, mockery but without the poisons and stinginess of evil. Because there is imagination and joy in his recreation of life, not from philosophicalperspective, but as a schedule that sheds in the invisible passing of time"--P. [6].
