Powerful Art To Inspire Political Action Against Dictators

 

This exhibition was named after John Heartfield, the courageous German antifascist anti-Nazi graphic design genius. Living in Berlin until 1933, Heartfield rose to number-five on the Gestapo’s most-wanted list. His famous political art exposed the propaganda lies of fascism and The Third Reich.

The exhibition tells his cinematic life story in words, photos, and video. Heartfield’s grandson, the exhibition’s curator, shares never-before-published photos, letters, and video from The John J Heartfield Collection. Come back often. The John Heartfield Exhibition always adds new material.
