• Resumen

  • The article highlights the popularity of satirical photomontage by German artist John Heartfield, which was mass-produced in newspapers and on posters, in efforts to battle the forces of reaction and hypocrisy during the European interwar period. Heartfield appeared to late 20th-century postmodernists as a progenitor who appropriated mechanically reproduced images in a critique of consumerism and the media.
