Fotomontages John Heartfield 1891-1968 by John Heartfield
catalogue exhibition Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven
The photomontages of John Heartfield are, without question, some of the most compelling, poignant, satirical and yet, at times, truly horrifying works of art to have come out of the wars of the 20th century. If you have yet to acquaint yourself with his work, seek it out.
