The political collages of John Heartfield (1891-1968) have earned him a reputation as one of the most innovative graphic artists of the Weimar Republic. His photomontages and book covers, based on collages that had their origins in Berlin's Dada scene, were directed against Fascism and made him internationally famous.

Their explosive power has lost none of its impact today.
