DESCRIPTION:
A chronology, bibliography, and articles highlighting John Heartfield’s WW2 Anti-Nazi art. These “Photomontages Of The Nazi Period” were used as “art as a weapon” against fascism and The Third Reich. Their forceful visual image enraged Adolf Hitler. John Heartfield proudly earned the number five slot on the Gestapo’s most wanted list.
The curator of the John Heartfield Exhibition is particularly fond of this book since he has a copy given to me and signed by my grandmother, Gertrud (Tutti) Heartfield, John Heartfield’s third wife.
