MRAČNJAŠTVO KAO ANTIREVOLUCIJA

Promatrajući  karikature uvaženog majstora od pera Petra Pismetrovića, nalazim u njihovim osnovnim crtama mnoge bliskosti i sličnosti sa karikaturama Hasana Fazlića na iste teme. Naime, bio sam u prilici razgledati izložbu Fazlićevih karikatura o ratu na području bivše SFRJ i uvjeriti se kako su karikaturisti na približan način doživljavali i prikazivali ideloge i promotore cijepanja nekad poznate nam i priznate države i ispisivanja krvavih stranica naše novije povijesti. Istina, treba reći da su  karikaturalna prikazanja pojedinih zloglasnih aktera jugoslavenske drame u nizu pojedinosti različita kod svakog karikaturiste.

Ratna politička karikatura Petra Pismetrovića smješta likove ultranacionalnih vođa u konkretne situacije koje odslikavaju njihove retrogradne i krvoločne poteze koji su koštali života gotovo 200.000 ljudi na trusnim balkanskim prostorima. Na njima pokojni vožd Milošević personificira pojavu  navodnog razarača ideja secesijskih djela i nedjela naci-tvoritelja kakav je bio Tuđman i njemu slični pronositelji ideja cijepanja. U tom kolopletu sinova 'od zla oca i gore  matere' Karadžić, Mladić i drugi svirači na strojnicama samo su egzekutori politike nasilnog razdvajanja i prisilnog spajanja, u to vrijeme, nečeg nespojivog.

Ispod maske borbe za zamagljena nacionalna prava i tobožnje demokratske slobode koje započinju i završavaju pravom na biranje vlastitih vlastela nakon isteka četverogodišnjeg mandata ili psovanjem svega što postoji, karikaturist jasno vidi i slikom pokazuje vožda koji nosi krst sankcija dok jaši na leđima u pojam ubijenu jedinku  naroda. Sa istog odstojanja objektivnog promatrača ljudske nevolje i neljudske samovolje, Pismetrović vidi bivšega psihijatra iz čije vile vire cijevi topova, haubica, minobacača i svakojakih oružja namijenjenih uništenju ljudi. Kako tuđega, jednako tako i vlastitog naciona uz kojeg ga vežu jedino krvožedna vlast i gramziva pohlepa. Slika bez riječi otisnuta vještom rukom karikaturiste progovara upečatljivo o vremenima ratne kataklizme u kome su dobri stradali a loši zauzimali pozicije koje im danas donose bogate probitke. Neki su, doduše, dio ratne "slave" i srazmjerno stečenog plijena odnijeli pod zemlju, dok drugi nečasno blaguju u hladovini otetih radničkih fabrika ili vila izgrađenih novcem zarađenim ubijanjem ili ništenjem slabih i nedužnih.

Petar Pismetrović svojom političkom karikaturom ispisuje hroniku stradanja ljudi koje je posljedica bezumlja izobličenih faca što marširaju kroz njegov crtački notes. Te su nam face znane koliko i nedjela koja su ostala iza njihovih mržnjom zatrovanih glasova i krvlju zaprljanih ruku. Vjekovječnost njihovih u svijetu i u narodu omrznutih pojava omeđena je nadgrobnim spomenicima, zatvorskim rešetkama i kletvama svih onih koji su osjetili razornost njihovih nedjela i mračnost njihovih umova. Dakako, i karikaturama meštara koji su te face stavili na papir u obliku kakav im sliči i priliči.

Gledano iz toga ugla, doprinost  Petra Pismetroviaća u karikaturalnom raskrinkavanju tvoraca mračnjaštva, daleko je veći od ordenja i medalja koje su njegovi likovi primili za 'odvažnost i hrabrost' u borbi za svoje torove i atare, a protiv svega ostalog što vrijedi i živi.

OBSCURANTISM AS ANTI-REVOLUTION

Watching cartoons of honorable Peter Pismetrovića, I find many similarities and closeness between his caricatures and Hasan Fazlic (BiH) on the same topic. In fact, I was able to see  exhibition of Hasan's (BiH) cartoons about the war in former Yugoslavia and ensure that the caricaturists in the approximate way perceived and portrayed ideloge promoters of the splitingt once known and recognized state and the writing of the bloody pages of recent history. True, it must be said that the presentation of some notorious actors in the Yugoslav drama series are different with every cartoonist.

War political cartoons of Peter Pismetrovića locates characters of ultra-national leaders in specific situations reflects their retrograde and bloodthirsty moves which cost almost 200,000 people lives in the southern Balkan. Within it the late leader Milosevic personificates the appearance of the destroyers, personified the emergence of ideas and art nouveau works of Nazi crimes as the Tudjman was also similar promotors of that kind of ideas.. In the spinning of the children of 'the evil father and even worse mother', Karadzic, Mladic and other players in the machine-only policy executioners of forced separation and forced mergers of something that is  incompatible.
Beneath the mask of the struggle for national rights and blurred the supposed democratic freedoms that begins and ends with the right to select their own nobility after the four-year term of office or abuse of all that exists, cartoonist and picture clearly shows leader carrying the cross while rides of sanctions on the back of the term bears killed people . With the distance of the same objective observer of human misery and inhuman tyranny, Pismetrović see former psychiatrist from the villa viruses pipe guns, howitzers, mortars and all sorts of weapons intended for destruction of people. How the other ones, as well as their own nation that bind him only bloodthirsty power and avaricious avarice.The picture without the words printed skilful hand of the cartoonist and distinctly speaks to the times of war cataclysm in which the good suffered a bad position occupied by them today, bringing rich benefits. Some, however, part of the war "slave" and in proportion of prey acquired under the land claimed, while others ill eat in the shade of the kidnapped workers or factory-built villa with money earned by killing or destorying of the weak and innocent.

Peter Pismetrović with his his political cartoons prints chronicle of suffering people which is a consequence of distorted madness march through the hot dog as his drawing notes. And we face known as the transgressions that were poisoned by hatred behind their votes and blood zaprljanih hand. Century living in the world and their people hatred appearance bounded are with the tombstones, prison bars, or curses all those who felt calamitous of their misdeeds and gloom of their minds. And  cartoons of the masters who put those faces on the paper in the form of what they resemble and should be seen.

Viewed from this angle, Doprinost Peter Pismetroviaća in cartoonist disclosure of makers of obscurantism, is far greater than the medal that his characters receive for boldness and courage to fight for their folds and areas, and against everything else that is valid and alive.

SLIKE... UZ PONEKU RIJEČ

Slika govori više od hiljadu riječi! Uz pomoć tek poneke i povremene...riječi! Ove mudrosti su optočene draguljima karikatura Petra Pismetrovića. Posmatrati sa otklonom od blizu deceniju ili više pojedine od predočenih karikatura može nas samo nagnati da pokušamo iznaći objašnjenje zbog čega je i došlo do raspada države koje se danas odriču najviše upravo oni koji su bili njeni najveći zagovarači. Svojevremeno...

Glavnih aktera više nema među živima. Bar onih ključnih. Iz svih republika ex-Yu. No, danas prostor koji u 2010.godini dobija naziva JUGOSFERA i jeste prostor još uvijek gluposti, mržnje i nedorečenih sanja...Neizgrađenost odgovarajućeg oblika svijesti usmjerenog poštovanju svojih iskrenih predanosti sopstvenom biću i budućim nadama susjeda/komšija samo je trenutno prikriven sopstvenim košmarnim snom-opstankom.

Taj trenutak lošega u dvije decenije iza nas može biti učitelj nama današnjima da iščitamo, a ne samo da gledamo uz smješak, karikature Petra Pismetrovića kao vapaj čovjeka koji razotkrivanjem zla ovdje, ali i van ovih prostora, razotkriva licemjerstvo. Ne samo licemjerstvo vođa koje smo birali u predvečerje „demokratskog totalitarizma“ već i predstavnika NSP-ija (Novog Svjetskog Poretka) koji su na ove prostore uvijek gledali kao na nikada završenu priču o laboratoriji duha. Ne samo ovdašnjeg.

Snaga Petrovog kista nije samo u karikaturalnom podsmijehu vlastodršcima već i satiričnom otklonu prema nama, običnim malim ljudima, koji su, ako već ne bijahu direktne žrtve životinja što nam gradiše „bolju budućnost prošlosti što stremi“, samo preživljavali ali ne i živjeli životom dostojnim čovjeka. Šta bi mogli naučiti od ovoga autora?
Mi, ništa, zaista...jer je kasno za nas. Truli smo do bola. Zajedničkog. Nas, osoba i ličnosti koje su dozvolile razlaz unutar države koja jeste bila vlast jedne i jedine partije i jednog i jedinog čovjeka. No, kada danas pogledamo, imam osjećaj da je manje boljelo. Ovo danas više izgleda kao grupni seks. Ovo višestranačje u kojem, unutar prvobitne akumulacije kapitala, se ne zna više ko je s kim a ko je protiv koga, i za koga. Osim bandita na vlasti čiji cilj i jeste sopstveno održanje. Čak i ako je potreban novi rat.

Kroz osvetu bivših zatvorenika suočeni smo sa permanentnom laži da ćemo samo ako smo dobri Srbi, Hrvati i Bošnjaci (Muslimani) preživjeti i ovaj vijek. No, istovremeno, nikada više vjernika ali nikada više lopovluka. E, upravo o tom lopovluku govori i Petar Pismetrović u nadi da će neko nešto naučiti. Moj prijedlog je da ove karikature budu sastavni dio likovne kulture osnovnih škola na prostoru ex-Yu, jer su itekako sveobuhvatne. Zavisno ko ih bude gledao, bit će proglašene pro-srpskim, pro-hrvatskim ili pro-muslimanskim. Za nas koji su donekle uspjeli održati svoje ljudstvo unutar besmisla koje živimo bit će samo pro-human...Za ljude. Ako ih još uvijek ima na ovim prostorima?!

THE PICTURES ... together with just few words

Picture says more than a thousand words! With the help of only a few... and the occasional word! These wisdoms are decant jewels of the cartoons of Petar Pismetrovića. Observe with the deflection of near decade o more of the individual from presented caricatures can only urge us to try to find a possibility to explain why the disintegration of state has hapenned that are now recant the most of those who were its greatest advocates. Once upon a time...

The main actors is no longer among the living. At least the key ones. From all ex-Yu republics. However, today the area which in 2010 has got a title JUGOSFERA  is still area of nonsense, hatred, and unrealized dreams ... Unfledged of the appropriate forms of awareness directed towards the respect of sincere commitment for their own being and future hopes of neighbors is only current covert with own nightmare dream  - survival.

The bad moment in two decades behind us may be teacher to us of today to read up again and again, and not only to look with the smile, cartoons of Peter Pismetrovića as the cry of the human being who, with uncovering the evil here, but also outside of these areas, exposes hypocrisy. Not only the hypocrisy of leaders who are elected on the eve of the "democratic totalitarianism", but also representatives of the NSP-ion (New World Order) that  these areas always were looking at as never finished story of the laboratory of the spirit. Not just local.

Peter's power brush is not only within the cartoon derision towards the rulers but also ridicule and satirical deflection to eliminate us, the ordinary little people who, if they were not direct victims of animals, who build  "better future which aspires to the past“, only survaved  but not to live life worthy of man . What we could learn from this author?

We, nothing, really ... because it is too late for us. We are rotten to the pain. Common. Us, people and personalities that have allowed separation within the state which is a government of one and only party and the one and only man. But when we look at today, I have a feeling that is less hurt. It now looks more like group sex. Nowadays! This multiparty system in which, within the original accumulation of capital, nobody knows who is with whom and who is against whom and for whom. Besides bandits in power whose goal is to own and maintain. Even if there is a need for a new war.

Through revenge on ex-prisoners, we are faced with continuous lie that we are good only if we are good  Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks (Muslims) will survive this century. But at the same time, never more believers existed but never theft among them. Well, just about that theft Pismetrović Peter speaks in the hope that someone will learn something. My suggestion is that these cartoons become an integral part of the art culture of primary schools in the area of  ex-Yu, as indeed comprehensive. Depending on who is watching them, will be declared pro-Serbian, pro-Croatian or pro-Muslim. For us who have somewhat managed to maintain their personnel within the absurdity of living will be just pro-human ... for people. If you still have that kinf of people in this area?

PETAR PISMESTROVIĆ, SATIRA JE POČELA!

Karikatura je kao prvi pravi znak oslobađanja od ikonografije, dospela do potpune autonomije i otelotvorila svoje vlastite, specifične vizije sveta, karikatura je postala poslednja forma slikarstva i prvenstveno nam prikazuje u svojoj „izobličenosti“ samo društvo, čoveka, a iznad svega politiku i političare onakvima kakvi oni zapravo i jesu...

Karikaturisti se ograničavaju da kritikuju negativnosti i napadaju isključivo socijalne efekte određenih društvenih institucija, kao što su, moral, porodica, brak, crkva, građanski zakoni... Tako je to u većem delu civilizovanog sveta...

Karikaturista Petar Pismestrović je imao tu sreću ili nesreću da kritikuje sve to ali i politiku koja je rasturala jednu zemlju koja je doduše tako i konstituisana: „Posle mene potop!“, ali u velikoj meri potpomognuta postupcima stranih faktora i sujetom „malih vođa“, koji bijahu naslednicima „velikog vođe“... Nastavak toga je bio bezumni rat za koga jedni optužuju druge i dan danas, a činjenica je da je krivica tih „malih“ sujetnih i preambicioznih lidera bivših republika prevazilazila sve granice normalnog... Neki od njih su malo manje, do retardiranosti, a neki malo više do ludila bili opčinjeni svojim idejama, ali svi su podjednako radili na rasturanju države, stvaranju mržnje i širenja najgoreg nacionalšovinizma koji nije viđen još od vremena Hitlera...  Na žalost, i posle dvadeset godina od početka tog užasa ni danas nemamo neku sreću sa političarima koji su u novostvorenim državicama preuzeli vlast, uglavnom zahvaljujući tome što su bivši umrli, ili prevratom došli na vlast potpomognuti zapadnim faktorima...

Karikature Petra Pismestrovića su svojevrstan pečat vremena. Autentično posmatranje stvarnosti oko nas podrazumeva i pokušaj njenog tumačenja, kroz puno crteža i neznatnog  teksta što je zaista teško, ali ne i maestralnim istorijskim svedočanstvima i malim remek delima kao što je slučaj kod Petra Pismestrovića.

Put Petra Pismestrovića je bilo putovanje u nepoznato, ali ne i putovanje bez kompasa. Lično sa radovima Petra Pismestrovića sreo sam se prvi put davnih 80-ih godina i nekako se podsvesno uzdržavam od nametanja ličnih sudova i subjektivnih vizija radova koji slede... Ovoga puta više razmišljam nego što želim da objašnjavam verujući da je ovo put ka konkretnosti i nadasve da se i samom delu mora ostaviti deo neizvesnosti koju svako od nas u sebi otkriva.

Ovaj kratki osvrt na karikature koje su pred nama završio bih kratkim Apolonijevim citatom: „Ako vidim, slušam i osećam nešto što je drugi čovek uradio ili stvorio, ako u tragu koji je ostavio primetim ličnost, njegova shvatanja, njegova trajanja, njegove borbe – to je za mene umetnost.“

U karikaturisti Petru Pismestroviću ja vidim, čujem i osećam takvu ličnost!

PETAR PISMESTROVIĆ, SATIRE HAS STARTED!

Cartoon is the first real sign of liberation from iconography, reach full autonomy and embodied its own, specific vision of the world, and has has become the last form of painting and mainly shows us in his "distortion" just society, a man, and above all - politics and politicians as what they actually are ...

Cartoonist is limited to criticize negativity and attack only social effects of certain social institutions, such as morality, family, marriage, church, civil laws ... It is like that in most of the civilized world ...

Cartoonist Peter Pismestrović had the fortune or misfortune to criticize all that and as well the politics that scattered a country that is so constituted to have: "After me, the deluge!", but largely supported by actions of foreign factors and vanity of "small heads" who were successors of  " the great leader" ... Continuation of that was demented war, for which  anyone accused each other today, and the fact that the fault of those "small", vanity full, and ambitious leader of the former republics surpassed all limits of normal ... Some of them were a little less, to the retardation, and same of them were a little more, to the madness, fascinated with their ideas, but all are equally worked on scattering of the state and creating hatred and spreading the worst national-schovinism which has not been seen since the time of Hitler ... Unfortunately, even after twenty years from the beginning of that horror, even today we do not have any luck with politicians who are in newly established states in power, mainly due to the fact that the former died, or through the planned coup de tat came to power backed by the western factors ...

Caricature as the first real sign of liberation from the iconography, has came  to complete autonomy and reflected its own, specific vision of the world, and become the last art form, and  mainly displays to us in its "distortion" of the society, man, and above all, the politics and politicians as they they actually are ...
Caricaturists are limited to criticize negativity and attack only the social effects of certain social institutions, such as, morality, family, marriage, church, civil laws ... Like it is is in large part of the civilized world ...

Artwork Peter Pismestrovića the kind of time stamp. Authentic observation of the reality around us involves the interpretation of its attempt, through a lot of drawings and a slight text it's really hard, but not maestralnim historical evidence and a small masterpiece works of Peter Pismestrovića.

The road of Petar Pismestrovića was a trip into the unknown, but not travel without a compass. Personally, I met the  work of Petar Pismestrović  for the first time back in ancient 80s and somehow subconsciously abstain from imposing personal and subjective vision court papers that follows ... This time I think more than I want to explain believing that this is the way towards concrete explanation and above all to leave to that art the part of  the uncertainty that each of us is in itself revealing.

This brief overview of the cartoons that are before us, I completed with a short Apolonies quote: "If I see, hear and feel what the other man did or created, if the trace is left to notice personality, his ideas, his life, his struggle - to to me, it is art. "

Within the cartoonist Peter Pismestroviću I see, hear and feel such a personality!
