Edmond Kiraz (Kirazian August 25, 1923 – París, August 11, 2020) was a French-Armenian cartoonist and illustrator.
Biography
Born in Cairo of Armenian descent, Kiraz began his career as a political cartoonist after emigrating to post-World War II Paris. In 1959, while he was working for the French magazine Jours de France, his boss, Marcel Dassault, had him move from politics to humor. As time passed, Kiraz developed a distinctive and humorous pictorial style of representing women that he called Les Parisiennes: very thin, with long legs, small breasts, and a pouty face.
His cartoons are often not only humorous but slightly naughty or erotic, and since 1970 he contributed regularly to Playboy Magazine.
