John Heartfield - 1
John Heartfield
(b Berlin, 19 June 1891; d Berlin, 26 April 1968).
German photomontagist, draughtsman, typographer and stage designer. After a
difficult childhood owing to the persecution of his father for his
political beliefs, he studied art at the Königliche Kunstgewerbeschule in
Munich from 1907 to 1911, specializing in poster design. In 1912 he took
his first job in a printing works in Mannheim, moving to Berlin in 1913,
where he and his brother Wieland Herzfelde made contact with avant-garde
circles. Heartfield’s experiences in World War I led him to conclude that
the only worthy art was that which took account of social realities. He
destroyed all his early work.
