Více o knize
John Heartfield (1891–1968) was Berlin’s most innovative graphic designer during the Weimar period, known for his work on book jackets, magazines, and political pamphlets. Initially linked to the Dada movement, his communist affiliations and the rise of Nazism prompted a shift in his artistic focus towards political messaging and opposition. Heartfield's photomontages, characterized by their incisive humor and creativity, aimed to expose the harsh realities of contemporary politics to a broad audience. This richly illustrated volume showcases Heartfield’s extensive body of work, sourced from the Akademie der Künste’s archives, which he donated. It highlights not only his well-known designs but also lesser-known aspects, including his theater work. Additionally, a wealth of archival material sheds light on his ideas, biography, and creative connections. Contemporary artists and thinkers provide insights into the role of political art and the concept of “fake news.” This comprehensive exploration situates Heartfield firmly within his historical context while revealing the ongoing relevance of his work today.
