Famous cartoonist and cartoonist of the newspaper Le Monde, Plantu, Jean Plantureux of his real name, has won many prizes and competitions for his works.
The designer PLANTU explains that he can draw everything as long as it’s not free. He goes on to say that he loves politicians: "it is a fine profession".
Press conference by François MITTERRAND the king and Hussein I of Jordan, seated side by side, in Amman, Jordan. In Amman, during the press conference given by François MITTERRAND and King HUSSEIN of Jordan, the cartoonist PLANTU questions the President of the Republic on a drawing he brought with him: he asks him his opinion on the legend. A dry reply followed by a small exchange which ended with the proposal of legend by François MITTERRAND.
The cartoonist PLANTU, who publishes his drawings daily in Le Monde, expresses his feeling about the cartoonist’s freedom of expression: "we are not above the law". He gives an example of current events that it would be impossible to draw in a certain way and concludes: "it is unimaginable to the extent that people do not understand".
The PLANTU cartoonist explains how his work for Le monde unfolds: he learns about the news and then chooses the fact that has him most marked. He then proposes a drawing. He awaits the opinion of the editor and the one for whom he illustrates.
The cartoonist PLANTU thinks that there is no limit to humour. It is up to artists to propose things to make people react. To make him laugh with his drawings is not enough, they must also make you want to go further.
