John Heartfield


1. Whoever Reads Bourgeois Newspapers Becomes Blind and Deaf: Away With These Stultifying Bandages 1930s

2.Adolf the Superman: Swallows Gold and Spouts Junk 1932

3.Helmet Herzfeld 1929

John Heartfield was born in 1891 in Germany. He is most known for his photomontage style in which his aim was to undermind the Nazi Propoganda going on during WWII.

I love the satire in the pieces, and the purpose that they served during their time. Very cool.
