Hooray, The Butter is Gone!


Hurrah, Die Butter ist Alle! - John Heartfield (Germany 1935)


John Heartfield, an anti-Nazi German, developed photomontage to make political statements. He sought to undermine the Nazi propaganda and growing communist nationalism in Germany through his manipulation and distribution of images, often using the image of Adolf Hitler and the Swastika in a satirical manner. 

He even changed his name to Heartfield from Helmut Herzfeld to criticise the anti-British sentiment in Germany at the time.
