Cartoonmuseum Basel

Meet the artist: Cosey à Bâle

19 February 2023 | 4.00 PM

Jonathan, who is both the hero of the series named after him and the alter ego of its author and illustrator Cosey, has accompanied the latter for 47 years. In between the 17 albums in this series, Cosey has also created over twenty individual books. In his impressive oeuvre, the artist has repeatedly raised philosophical questions and reflected on them with increasing wisdom. In a talk with comics specialist Ariel Herbez, Cosey carries us off into his narrative and artistic cosmos.

Institution

The Cartoonmuseum Basel is the only museum of its kind devoted exclusively to satirical art – from the caricature to the comic. The Late Gothic building on its historic site also includes an unexpected new building by Herzog & de Meuron. Varying, attractively designed exhibitions on political and social themes show the considerable scope of the humorous drawing and the great diversity of artistic techniques. Equal attention is paid to both classical works, some from the museum’s own stocks, and contemporary works.
