John Heartfield and the Agitated Image
Author: Andrés Mario Zervigón
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226981789
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Working in Germany between the two world wars, John Heartfield (born Helmut Herzfeld, 1891–1968) developed an innovative method of appropriating and reusing photographs to powerful political effect. As a pioneer of modern photomontage, he sliced up mass media photos with his iconic scissors and then reassembled the fragments into compositions that utterly transformed the meaning of the originals. In John Heartfield and the Agitated Image, Andrés Mario Zervigón explores this crucial period in the life and work of a brilliant, radical artist whose desire to disclose the truth obscured by the mainstream press and imperial propaganda made him a de facto prosecutor of Germany’s visual culture. Zervigón charts the evolution of Heartfield’s photomontage from an act of antiwar resistance into a formalized and widely disseminated political art in the Weimar Republic. Appearing on everything from campaign posters to book covers, the photomonteur’s notorious pictures challenged well-worn assumption and correspondingly walked a dangerous tightrope over the political, social, and cultural cauldron that was interwar Germany. Zervigón explains how Heartfield’s engagement with montage arose from a broadly-shared dissatisfaction with photography’s capacity to represent the modern world. The result was likely the most important combination of avant-garde art and politics in the twentieth century. A rare look at Heartfield’s early and middle years as an artist and designer, this book provides a new understanding of photography’s role at this critical juncture in history.

Deutschland, Deutschland Über Alles
Author: Kurt Tucholsky
Publisher: Amherst : University of Massachusetts Press, 1972 [c1964]
ISBN:
Category : Germany
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
"Kurt Tucholsky (1890-1935) achieved popular success in Germany before the First World War with a witty and sensitive novel of young love. But he is best known for his work as a satirist and critic, most of it written as a left-wing journalist in Berlin during the twenties and the years leading up to the Nazis, the fateful Weimar years. He is considered by some an exemplar of the intemperately critical spirit that doomed Weimar--a cautionary and bitter footnote to an era; by others, an indispensable moral and prophetic voice of the period, basically correct in his assessments and values." -- Book jacket.
