    John Heartfield   Mit seinen Phrasen will er die Welt vergasen.  Der Mann, der die deutche Verfassung beschwor, spricht jetzt von Frieden. Er wird ihn halten wie seinen Eid.   From AIZ   1933

    Translation:  He’ll gas the world with his words.  fter swearing to uphold the German Constitution, this man now talks about peace. He’ll respect peace as little as he respects his oath.

     

June 19, 1891 - April 26, 1986
John Heartfield, a political photomontage artist affiliated with and influenced by the Dada movement, was born Helmut Herzfeld in Berlin, Germany.
An active communist in 1920s and 30s Berlin, Heartfield undermined Nazi propaganda through his use of satiric artistic representation. By appropriating and reusing photographs to political effect, he transformed photomontage into a powerful form of mass communication.
