John Heartfield WW2 Political Art Masterpiece

Anti-Nazi Magazine Cover, Prague, 1934

Gestapo Letters To German Women (Gestapo-Briefe an deutsche Frauen)
Adding Mockery To Murder!

Governments have sought to terrorize and control women in many ways. Many of these practices continue all around the world. From spreading medical propaganda lies in order to control their bodies to barbaric practices such as forced surgery upon them, the assault on women’s physical and mental health goes on. In this minimalist brilliant piece of political art, John Heartfield exposed the Nazi tactics that were meant to silence German women.

It’s crucial to remember this masterpiece is not a painting. It’s a collage that was executed under the most challenging of circumstances.
