This title offers a sustained study of the German artist John Heartfield's political photomontages, published in the left-wing weekly 'Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung' (AIZ), during the 1930s. Sabine T. Kriebel foregrounds the critical artistic practices with which Heartfield directly confronted the turbulent, ideologically charged currents of interwar Europe, exposing the cultural politics of the crucial historical moment that witnessed the consolidation of National Socialism.
