John Heartfield Photographer

August 10, 2012

 
After his forced return to East Germany, my grandfather found a new passion – photography. When I spent vacations with him in Liguria, Italy, in the 1960s, a movie or still camera was never far from his hands.
 
There’s a great shot of him taking a movie on an Italian beach in the Photos section of the John J Heartfield Collection.
