THE FACE AS A MEANS OF RECOGNITION


The face is widely recognized as the feature which best distinguishes a person, often at first glance.

Likewise, Caricature s often exaggerate facial features to make a face easily recognized in association with a pronounced portion of the face of the individual in question—for example, a caricature of Adolf Hitler might focus on his facial hair and hair style; a caricature of George W. Bush might enlarge his ears, and a caricature of Jay Leno may pronounce his forehead and chin. Exaggeration of memorable features helps people to recognize others when presented in a caricature form.

Cosmetic Surgery is often used to alter the appearance of the facial features.
