The Use of Photomontage in John Heartfield's Anti-Fascist Art

Quick fact

John Heartfield was forced to flee Germany in 1933, but he continued publishing photomontages against the Nazis from exile, often under the threat of death.

Why this is interesting

Imagine a photograph of Hitler with a swastika made of banknotes, or a dove with a bayonet instead of an olive branch. These striking, unsettling images weren't just art—they were weapons that exposed the lies of Nazi propaganda.
