What’s Wrong With Today’s Society, As Captured In 30 Honest Illustrations By Gerhard Haderer (New Pics)
Edgar Degas, a 19th-century French impressionist, once said, “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see”. Indeed, with their intricate work, artists often send a message, which can evoke all sorts of emotions, be it astonishment, joy, anger, or others. And as the quote suggests, make us notice things we haven’t yet; or, in some cases, aren’t willing to.
Some uncomfortable truths are depicted in the works of the Austrian cartoonist and caricaturist Gerhard Haderer. His satirical depictions of current-day society are brutally honest, yet often accurate as well. We have gathered some of them into this list, so you can have a look at what he was trying to make others see with his artwork. Scroll down to find the thought-provoking images below.

Actually feel as if this is a DOWNWARDS trend in today's society. More and more we're normalizing mental health talk. We're also breaking the "taboo" of giving only positive answers when asked "How are you doing today?"... If you don't want to know... don't ask... quit making people put up a false front for your own comfort.
No it's for everyone who have to pretend it's normal to be ripped off and degraded by the ruling billionaire class of phony Americans
Born in Leonding, Austria, Gerhard Haderer is considered by some to be the best cartoonist and caricaturist in the German-speaking world. Over the years he has worked as a graphic artist, draughtsman, and illustrator for advertising companies, as well as a freelance cartoonist and satire illustrator.
During his multifaceted career, the artist has covered numerous topics, from politics to religion and even veganism, and appeared in an abundance of publications. He has also released books, one of which, titled ‘Das Leben des Jesus’ (or ‘The Life of Jesus’), created quite a commotion among some people, leading up to Haderer even facing court in Greece.

I am just watching this photo on my phone at my home while it is a beautiful day outside, pittying people who can’t appreciate and enjoy nature without involving technology.
Okay but none of them caught the other's phone on the camera?
Photos are nice to share. Now, take the picture, put the camera down and enjoy the scenery with your own two eyes. I love photos, but we don't need the cell phones in our faces all of the time.
I like to think they are capturing the beauty to share with others.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking out your phone real quick to get a pic to remember and look at later. It's not like you're gonna be on your phone the whole time. Why do people act like taking pics is wrong now?
Oh man i hate when people capture they're experience to look back on it, how dare they!!!
‘The Life of Jesus’ is a cartoon book of religious satire, depicting the life of Christ in a way that some Greeks didn’t find appropriate. In the beginning of 2005, a court in Athens charged the artist with blasphemy and banned the book itself. The restriction on the book was reportedly the first ban of its kind in Greece in more than 20 years.
Gerhard Haderer was given a six-month suspended sentence in absentia. However, according to Refworld, in March of the same year, the court acquitted him of all charges. The decision was based on the grounds that the book’s humorous qualities precluded it from being maliciously blasphemous.
Ah yes, the Getting Eaten by a Shark challenge. Hope this one takes off on Tik Tok for sure. Jk, obv.

yep, if you think about it. The Catholic Church was probably a safe haven for gays and lesbians for centuries. No pressure from family members to marry. Convents and seminaries would have been the equivalent of a gay bar. No I am not talking about pedophile priests. Normal gay people are not attracted to children just like normal straight people are not attracted to children. Most pedophiles are straight.
Load More Replies...and ? They vowed celibacy, not chastity, they’re not monks.
The catholic church forced celibacy so priests wouldn't have families that would inherit their wealth. It was a way of keeping the riches in the church coffers.
Load More Replies...Stop touching me and them! We hear, see and listen to the children's complaints about us!
What do you mean? Are you a priest? Or a pedophile?! 🤨
Load More Replies...In addition to religion, Haderer’s works often touch upon other sensitive topics as well, such as politics, for instance. As seen in the examples on this list, he also depicts relevant societal problems, from consumerism to the negative ways technology affects our everyday lives.
The artist’s brutally honest depictions of our society are not completely baseless. For example, a person taking a selfie quite literally in the jaws of danger shows the extent to which some people are willing to go for a picture. Unfortunately, it can lead to tragedy at times. Newsroom revealed that between the year 2008 and 2021, as many as 379 people were killed due to selfies.

The man's entitled to express himself. One day when you're older and you're moaning about how when you were younger people used to hold their phones instead of having them implanted in their brains....people will dismiss you by saying "okay Millenial".

Sure of course. Either the guy with the newspaper is the weirdo or everyone else is the weirdo. Never mind that a computer is how some people get news. What a jerk
Yea. Because the news on the internet is all true, and newspapers print fake news. Or is it the other way around? Or both? The media controls the people.
Load More Replies...This is me! 😆😂🤣 I have a phone, but I prefer paper. And no, I'm not a Boomer.
Quite a few of Gerhard Haderer’s illustrations cover the negative influence technology has on people. They often portray the younger generation as the one more prone to being glued to their phones, which is sadly quite representative of reality nowadays.
Research reveals that even though the usage depends heavily on the domain of technology, young adults typically use it more than those older than them. According to Pew Research Center’s 2019 survey, 93% of millennials owned smartphones, compared to 90% of Gen X representatives, and 68% of baby boomers.
close enough... nowadays one person will be watching TV, the rest on their own devices.

Not that they live long enough to get them since they are killed off and replaced every year before their productivity can drop off. Yeah, we wring eggs out of chickens, poor things.
Load More Replies...Facing unfavorable but true facts can be a pill that’s hard to swallow. That’s why some artwork is often deemed controversial or even offensive by some people.

I don't know what to think about this one, a lots of adults are complaining about the youth being always on the phone (or tablet, etc..) but those are the same that give their babies a phone when they are busy (or when they don't have time to play with them, or when they want time alone)

Nah, I'm old, no one was that obsessed with newspapers. You read the parts you wanted to, put the paper down and got on with life. I would totally be helping to make cookies here!
Load More Replies...What makes me sad the most about this thread is the generalization. These are extremes. For this illustration: Many families, especially parents, take parenting seriously. And yes, smartphones have become part of our lives and can be carefully introduced to kids from a not-too-early age. Some need it: yes, go ahead and be pessimistic about humanity, that's for sure the best way to help it.
I always told my siblings I'm The Little Red Hen when I would bake treats. If they don't help in any capacity, they don't get to enjoy what I make. If you don't know The Little Red Hen is a children's book about a hen that is going to bake bread, she says "who will help me ( with task to get ingredient for bread)?" and everyone says "not, I" and so she says "then I will do it myself." This happens a few times until finally the bread is done and she says "who will help me eat the bread?" And everyone volunteers to eat the bread and so The Little Red Hen says "No, I will do it myself." And she enjoys the bread she alone put in the effort to make.
House is clean and orderly, kids are quiet and well behaved. She's getting things done not refereeing fights and everyone seems content. My daughter started out sitting at the table watching movies on her tablet and talking to us while grandma and I cooked, now she looks up recipes on her tablet and makes them!
It's funny that the mother doesn't tell them to get off the electrical devices and be a family. Don't worry the iPads, iphones, and not you are raising those kids.
Right? I absolutely don't get this bitching about "wah, poor mum and the evil neglectful kids". Just don't choose the easy entertainment by phone route all the time and instead rais your children. Or, if the family simply absolutely isn't interested in making cookies, maybe let it be? Perhaps no one wants to cook with mum in general, because she's insufferable, lol. :P
Load More Replies...This one's sad to me, because making Christmas cookies with my Mom is a yearly tradition I've hardly ever missed out on. Cutting out the cookies and decorating them, Christmas music in the background... just having a good time together :') (Then again, I didn't have a cell phone until my early teens, and actual smartphones weren't a thing yet...)
That's a painting from someone who thinks people would care if someone has a newspaper instead of a news site. If the kids are interested at in making cookies with mum they will. If they're not, why force them. And the "poor sad mum" here should just do her bloody responsibility and parent the kids, not first introduce them to phones to easily entertain them and then b***h about them being on the phone.
Load More Replies...This is a divisive image. It's wrong to keep pushing the "kids are always on their devices and it's a bad thing" trope. In this image, for example, they show 6 kids on devices. (and let's not even get into why she's got half a dozen kids to supervise while trying to get Christmas dinner together!)One could be coordinating with relatives to make sure they get there on time. One could be looking up the recipes for mom. One could be helping with Christmas shopping. One could be chatting with Daddy who is deployed. One could be looking up the words to that song that mom only remembers well enough to whistle the tune. One could be compiling a list of "I can't eat that!" from all the relatives so no one has to miss Christmas dinner. They could all be doing homework.
How dare young people text their friends instead of doing absolutely nothing for hours?
This cracks me up because my mom is usually the one engrossed in her phone and oblivious to the world around her.
Too true! Especially if you live in an area that gets lots of tourists... last week, I opened my door and came almost face to face with a drone.. even though there're signs everywhere saying it's prohibited... it's not even the first time something similar happens... I mean, you can imagine how many times it must've happened before we got the signs... Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against those who just want a bit of a panoramic view from up high... but if we can reach out and grab your drone, you're definitely aware of what you're doing, and it's not for the "panoramic view", that's for sure!
if it's on my property and close enough that i could reach out and grab it, i would. with a baseball bat.
Load More Replies...This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think if a drone comes on your private property without consent, you should have the right to shoot it down.
That would be good. I hope they implement such rule.
Load More Replies...I warned a guy down the lake to stop buzzing us with his drone. 1 (one) round of 00 buckshot took care of that. 👍
are "Drone Wars" coming? When people will mount little cannons on their drones to shoot down other drones?
Drones are being used in the war in the Ukraine right now, while they do have weapons mounted on them these are primarily used on targets on the ground. Watched a documentary about it recently very scary
Load More Replies...It's gross. At our apartment complex, a creep had a drone out here peering into people's bedroom windows. He tried to tell the cops he worked for the property owners. Yeah no, they send out notices if they're going to be surveying, and they don't survey into people's bedrooms.
Not every person with a drone cares to spy or intrude on anyone's privacy. I fly a fully manual controlled freestyle fpv drone and I do it solely for aerobatic practice. It's a healthy and fascinating hobby. Yes my drone has cameras on it, but I'm capturing the stunts and lines I'm performing. Even gps guided cinematic drones are almost never used for nefarious reasons. If one is near you you can be fairly sure that it belongs to someone new to the hobby who's just too excited and eager to learn and follow proper etiquette. No one is filming you personally. Furthermore, there are I will admit bad actors in every group. Bad drivers, bad gun owners. Bad drinkers. Bad people in general. Would you do away with these things completely or expect proper conduct. I'm sure there are people who absolutely say yes ban alcohol, guns, or cars, and to that I say that is quite authoritarian. There are, without a doubt, freedoms and rights you hold dear that someone else would strike into oblivion.
Artabys emphasized that controversial art typically brings light to certain political and social issues, this way sparking public conversation about them. It becomes a method of expressing different points of view that encourages others to get acquainted with them. Whether it’s related to politics, technology, or other topics, controversial art also drives the development of artistic expression itself.
The real clowns are the people these guys are laughing at. Us, the voting proletariat that keeps them in power with promises of cake and circuses. They know what they're doing.
Nice demonstration of Renaissance painting skillz as well, with the lighting, composition, and that kickazz bowl of fruit!👍🏻👍🏻
Just reading everyone bicker over which side is the bigger clowns in the comment section. Left or right, red or blue, dems or reps. That's exactly why they're laughing, because they know all us peons are distracted with their little faux culture war while they get away with anything they want. Sad really.

We sit at the dinner table with our devices (ipads) and talk about what we’re reading, discuss the latest news. My family is way more informed on the world news than they ever where before. My granddaughter went to the zoo with friends (she’s 7). Friends mom said, she knew every animal by proper name! I said, her & grams watch animal video & games a lot. A shared hobby. There’s an upside.
Nice. Good to see an image where he's respecting her space. Even though I don't think that's what the artist intended.
You look at an image of two very similar people doing the exact same thing. From this YOU assume their genders, then project that that is her space and you project his history and then project that he is only just finally respecting "her" space. As if this picture in any way suggested any of that, and you aren't mentally ill and paranoid. Then you further insinuate that the artist only incidentally or accidentally presented this "proper" image, the unspoken part being, of course the artist usually just shows men abusing women. Because that is the norm. You genuinely need to seek counselling.

i think the xmas gifts were lingerie for her and a grooming kit for him. but only the appearance changed, everything else stayed the same. possibly implying that the gifts were just superficial. at least that's how i interpret it, could be wrong
Load More Replies...Reminds me of the short story "The Gift of the Magi" by O.Henry. In the original story she sells her long hair to buy him a watch chain, he sells his watch to buy ornamental combs for her hair. They both strived to buy the other a worthy gift, and in the end, the gifts are useless.
Haderer is known for these cartoons, which depict the same couple sitting in the same room/sofa/watching TV, and nothing ever changes apart from e.g. new hair cuts, clothes etc. Sometimes they are shown on New Year's Eve, "celebrating" with the same tired and bored facial expressions they had the day before.
Maybe Harder should mind their own business instead of fixating on other peoples preferences and personalities.

An article in Artland Magazine discussed some examples of controversial art presented over the last decades. For instance, Marcel Duchamp’s ‘Fountain’—a urinal that was introduced as art back in 1917 and raised a lot of questions about the definition of art itself. Or ‘Guernica’ by Pablo Picasso—an anti-war statement condemning the bombing of the town of Guernica in 1937.

this! the ignorant central europeans who selfishly take fat holidays and even complain when refugees fighting for their lives arrive at their holiday destinations. hundreds of refugees fleeing war and starvation come across the mediterranean. in boats that are not seaworthy. 1940 people drowned in 2022. Sometimes their bodies wash up on holiday beaches. Mr. and Mrs. holidaymakers prefer to ignore the fact that the world is full of war and hunger and do not give away any of their wealth.
In general people are selfish b*starts. We think we are civilized but we're not really doing anything better than we were 100 years ago. We're being told we're making progress but we're blind to the fact our society runs based on what keeps those in power in power, it's sickening. We have so many resources, so much technology.

When it comes to paintings and similar forms of expression, graffiti is often considered a controversial one. What some people find to be beautiful pieces showcasing someone’s creativity, others deem vandalism. People are typically split into two camps about it, and the one that’s not in favor of it is usually bigger. A 2014 survey revealed that as much as 51% of people in the US didn’t consider graffiti to be art.

It’s not only paintings that can be controversial, though. Music can also raise a lot of eyebrows and American composer John Cage proved that to be true. His piece titled ‘4’33’ (or ‘four minutes, thirty-three seconds’), first performed back in 1952, is a three-movement piece of… silence.
The composer was inspired by Robert Rauschenberg’s ‘White Painting’, which were seemingly just plain white canvases. Similarly, Cage’s composition consisted of nothing more than silence. Three parts of it; 30 seconds for the first one, two minutes, 23 seconds for the second, and one minute, 40 seconds for the third.

I think they're making changes instead of restoring it properly.

In an episode of the ‘Speaking of Psychology’ podcast, professor emerita of psychology at Boston College, Ellen Winner, PhD, pointed out that artists are continuously pushing the boundaries by creating something people wouldn’t have considered art before. That’s why it’s so difficult to determine what exactly art is, which might make certain works seem controversial.

THey are sitting in their cars like that because it's a take on the endless traffic jams when holiday season begins. So they spend the majority of their holidays in the traffic jam.
I was once in a traffic jam that was a complete road stoppage for 2.5 hours. People got out their beach chairs and there was a huge party with music playing and people getting to know each other - lots of fun and memorable.
They standing in a holiday induced traffic jam likely have been for hours, likely to stay that way for hours, too. No danger of crashing any time in the immediate future.

I found the one of the chicken, as previously stated, very.. uh, distressing if thats fhe right word. Dont know why its so different than the others photos. myabe its it being a animal that i personally own, or something like that lol thank to whoever reads this rambling, i dont blame you if you dont
Context? For all those BP articles where some writer explains a TikTok video without adding a gram of information, there's nothing added here? I suspect I might agree with many of the points being raise here, but without context, they just look like ugly paintings of ugly people doing strangely ugly things.
Satire is open to interpretation. It forces you to confront truth, or give consideration to another opinion.

Also minding your own business is seemingly bad, since there's even commentary about what people do whilst on the toilet. Most "problems" either are none, or are completely blown out of proportion, just for the person to be angry, or concerned about it. The one with the chicken was still the most impressive, though it's also very dumb. Since you can just buy eggs from free range chicken and Austria -which this dude comes from- is a country with pretty high standards in how to keep animals already.
He's a well known cartoonist, together with Manfred Deix who died a couple of years ago way too young. Haderer's cartoons are widely published in Austria and Germany.
Thankfully that's the first time I really saw anything of this guy. Although being from Bavaria. It's just so wildly unclever I can't even begin to understand how much mental boomer one must be and how self absorbed, to make the same "book good, phone bad" comment over and over again, mix it with some pretentious nonsense and think it shows how wise they are. Yikes.

a lot of this is just veiled right-wing talking points. there's nothing wrong with being vegan. there's nothing wrong with using technology. I'd guess that these drawings were in part made with technology. the corruption in large religions is not caused by being queer. and it's literally been proven that if there are less ways to drive and more alternative transportation there will be less traffic. (am I the only one that thinks it's a bit strange to be commenting on traffic issues and animal abuse in the food industry, but also be anti-vegan?)
Some are overly political, and hardly relatable. Came for a laugh, walks out happy because I'm not stressed out with the world's problem like the artist is. Call me apathetic I don't care, in this crazy world your personal happiness must come first.
So many of these needed explanations that I just stopped after the first 20.
