John Heartfield (1891-1968), pioneer of photomontage techniques and committed communist artist, was an important part of the attempted propaganda fightback against the Nazis from 1933 to 1938, from exile in Czechoslovakia, mostly from the pages of the Arbeiter-Illustrierte Zeitung. This exhibition provides, through his work, a narrative of what W.H. Auden called ‘a low, dishonest decade’.
