		Heartfield of course at times did a certain amount of hectoring in endeavoring to get the readers of AIZ to vote a certain way or to protest what was happening in Germany.
		Heartfield appreciated, as great artistic polemicists always have, that in order to be politically effective art has to be public, which means that the museum is just the wrong place for it.
		Heartfield's response was a masterful montage in AIZ that depicts the exhibition, in which a good many of his most biting images are shown, while, in the blank spaces left by the removed ones, the viewer sees the walls of a prison and a man with head wounds lying bleeding in the street.

		Heartfield never stopped trying to enlighten the public to the humor and satires of politics and war, until he past away in 1968 under Stalin's 'socialist realism' in East Berlin.
		John Heartfield was an artist who brought an avenue for citizens to walk down when all other streets were closed.
		John Heartfield interested and appealed to me for all these reasons, but more importantly because he took something so simple and raw and made it into priceless works of art that changed the way people protest, write cartoons, and preach ideals of today.

	John Heartfield 1891 - 1968 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Born Helmut Herzfeld in 1891, he anglicised his name to John Heartfield in response to German anglophobia during World War I. He was the first artist to use photomontage (combining whole or parts of photographs with text to communicate a new message) as a political weapon: "New political problems demand new means of propaganda.
		The exhibition includes a continuous showing of the documentary 'Zygosis - John Heartfield and the Political Image', by Gorilla Tapes, where scratch editing, chroma key, paintbox and 3D computer techniques are used to animate images of Hitler's speeches so that his hand gestures become comic demonstrations of chicken slaughter and toothbrush abuse.
		When Hitler took power in 1933 Heartfield was forced into exile, first of all to Prague, where he and his brother transfered the Malik publishing house, and John continued to work for AIZ.

	Cut And Paste: John Heartfield (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Of the Berlin group, John Heartfield remains the best known and revered as a result of his single-minded devotion to anti-Nazi political activism.
		For Heartfield the definition of "photomontage" was wider than for most, insisting that it should include the single photo with caption, since text and image interacted with each other in a similar way to multiple images.
		Heartfield's use of captions was, and perhaps still is, unsurpassed.

	John Heartfield - International Center Of Photography
		In spring 2005, the ICP Acquisitions Committee allocated the purchase of sixty-three John Heartfield photomontages published in the German illustrated newspapers Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung and Volks Illustriete from 1930 to 1937.
		Heartfield's satirical photomontages on Germany's political climate and international events are complex works about war and peace, and the links he perceived between fascism, business, and war.
		Heartfield creates meaning through the relationship between the text and the photographic fragments, between the images and the social comment, and between the issues raised in the photomontages and the perspectives of the articles in the magazine.

	Part Two: 2.0
		John Heartfield's anti-fascist photomontages produced for the German Communist Party's (KPD) AIZ (Arbeiter-Illustrierte-Zeitung - Workers Illustrated News) magazine are seen by many as the pinnacle of an effective avant-gardist critical intervention in social reality.
		Heartfield's use of allegories, reliance on word play, his exemplary satirical edge and his almost organic assimilation of elements into a near seamless whole ensured the visual success of the work.
		Heartfield also fought the Nazis on the cultural terrain which was all important in establishing ideological hegemony.

		Toward the end of the war, several men in Germany (Grosz, Heartfield, Ernst) were led through the critique of painting to a spirit which was quite different from the Cubists, who pasted a piece of newspaper on a matchbox in the middle of the picture to give them a foothold in reality.
		When John Heartfield and I invented photomontage in my South End studio at five o'clock on a May morning in 1916, neither of us had any inkling of its great possibilities, nor of the thorny yet successful road it was to take.

		These pictorial devices convey the satirical ideology that Grosz shared with his subject, John Heartfield, a friend, a fellow Berlin Dada artist, and a frequent collaborator.
		Heartfield is depicted as bald, grim-faced, and with clenched fists and a machine heart—the personification of the politically defiant anti-authoritarian, which was a stance that infused Heartfield's own art.
		In fact, Heartfield called himself a monteur-dada, rather than an artist, and conceived of his own assembled works as images intended only for mass reproduction in magazines and on book covers and posters.

		Heartfield (1891-1968), born Helmut Hertzvelt, was to become the most important artist working with photomontage this century.

		Though of course it might be possible to paint someone cutting the head off a painting of a man, such a work would be puzzling, and in any case could not refer to its own processes, as the 1929 photomontage refers to the practice of snipping, arranging, and pasting photographic images in evocative juxtaposition.
		So the use of holographic images in the montage of Heartfield cutting off the head of Zörgiebel, like a latter-day Judith with the head of Holofernes, was not to make an end run around painting.
		The metaphor is among the favored tropes of the rhetorician, whose charge is to move minds and change or arouse feelings by means of figures of speech, encouraging connections of the kind only rhetoric--or art--is capable of.

	John Heartfield Fotomontage
		John Heartfield (alias Helmut Herzefelde, 1891-1968), painter, advertisement-drawer, typograph, layouter, editor, book-illustrator, filmmaker, cartoonist, set designer, as well known as photomonteur: " If I collect photos and compare them carefully, I am able to produce montages with inflammatory propagandistic effects..." (Heartfield 1931).
		John Heartfield propagates a new type of art-producer: the intervening "operating" artist, who takes position politically, in that he reacts to current events.
		John Heartfield as an operating artist, for example at the Reichstag Fire-process: Four weeks after the takeover by the Nazis, at February 27th 1933, the Reichstag-building, symbol of the German Empire, stood in flames.

		They were outrageously blatant distortions, made by juxtaposing bits of unrelated photographs, the cut-and-paste equivalents of caricature and editorial cartoons (although, in terms of Heartfield's work, it is probably better to think of them as editorial assaults or assassinations, which he does with no shortage of humor).
		To my knowledge, this is the only film about John Heartfield; it is also greatly interesting, largely because of the way it was made.
		It often feels as if it were edited by John Heartfield himself, although of course that is not literally true.

		Some of the Berlin participants, like Grosz, Heartfield, and Wieland Herzfelde, lost patience with the apparent lack of seriousness on the part of their colleagues and devoted themselves to more orthodox modes of political action and propaganda.

	The Space: Montage - Must You See The Joins?
		One of Heartfield's most effective montages was made in 1932 - the year before the Nazi party came to power - and shows Hitler giving his own personal bent arm 'Heil' salute while a banker stands behind slipping a wad of 1000 mark notes into his open hand.
		Doug Kahn, who teaches sound at the University of Technology in Sydney, thinks Heartfield's most intriguing work came when he deviated, slightly, from the official Communist Party line of the time, to suggest that members of the German proletariat might be complicit in the Nazi delusion.
		It is Heartfield's spin on a famous speech by Goering telling the German people that 'iron has always made an empire strong, butter and lard only make people fat.' Maybe Heartfield was suggesting too many Germans were enthusiastically swallowing Nazi propaganda, something the Communist Party thought, or hoped, was impossible.
