John Heartfield

John Heartfield was an artist I had only heard of in passing. I always tried to make a mental note to myself to look him up, and today I've finally done it! Hurray! I love this guy's work. Heartfield was a very strong criticizer of the Nazi regiment and expressed his views through artistic collage. Above is Self Portrait with Police Commisioner. He was so strongly against the state of things in germany he even westernized his name, he was born Helmut Herzfeld. I was drawn to this artist because we both have a strong hate for the nazis. But as for his views, I feel the art speaks for itself. Left is Don't Worry, He's A Vegitarian, and to the right Hurray, the butter is all gone!
