Alternate Facts Are Propaganda

Facts are facts. Those who spout ‘alternate facts’ are attempting to convince people that something very bad for them is actually very good them.Politicians without conscience and those who support pivot away from ugly words and outright lies. Here you’ll find art that never pivots. Brilliant art with a visual jolt of reality. Art with warnings that remain constant and relevant from generation to generation. One engaging work of revealing art is worth all the noise we endured in 2016. Voters were conned. Others were de-sensitized by for-profit propaganda, endless media coverage, and numbing misleading polling.It’s essential to understand the life and work of John Heartfield. Heartfield knew violence is never the answer. He believed that art that reveals the true motives of those who traffic in hatred and division is a powerful weapon that will ultimately defeat them.John Heartfield’s art was hidden for years. Now contemporary artists inspired by Heartfield have joined the exhibition. Help The John Heartfield Exhibition continue to grow. Contribute any amount so the exhibition can continue to reveal the truth behind alternate facts. Visit The John Heartfield Exhibition Shop for great art on great items.
