The Ludwiggalerie Schloss Oberhausen presents the humorist Vicco von Bülow as a versatile artist in the exhibition "Ach was. LORIOT": It shows original drawings from his entire creative period - from his childhood to his late work. Loriot, who shaped German cultural heritage with his famous bulbous-nosed men and timeless quotes such as "There used to be more tinsel", is honored here not only as a caricaturist, but also as a sharp social critic.
His humorous take on the petty bourgeois society of the 1950s to 1980s is legendary. The cartoonist, actor, screenwriter, animator, presenter, director and stage and costume designer always held a mirror up to people and revealed profound comedy. Well-known characters such as Wum and Wendelin and the Hoppenstedts played their part.
