i12bent:John Heartfield (June 19, 1891 – 1968): Adolf the Superman: Swallows Gold and Spouts Junk
As a contributer to the DaDa movement, John Heartfield (Helmut Herzfeld) communicated his artistic vision through photomontage among the Berlin dada scene…
John Heartfield used his art to protest the violent, greedy governmental control of the Nazi party and Hitler’s Third Reich. He took a satirical approach, condemning the anti-semite and the wealthy industrialist who supported the German army. He witnessed a country of hungry, desolate people in the midst of chaos during the second World War, and through his art, protested their suffering.
