John Heartfield vs. Nazi Germany
Every Tuesday thru Sunday, August 30 – November 30, 2008
Unlike many socially conscious photographers of his era, who produced documentary work, Heartfield created photomontages. They are composite images made by cutting and joining parts from several photographs (ones he took, commissioned or found), then re-photographed to form a single seamless image. This exhibition presents over forty of Heartfield’s photogravures from AIZ along with issues of the magazine, which provide the original context for the artworks. All these objects come from the collection of the Akron Art Museum, which is one of only three in the United States to possess substantial holdings of Heartfield’s art.
