Exhibition catalogue for Against Hitler!, a selection of Heartfield's early photomontages displayed at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem in the mid-90s. Heartfield was among the first artists to popularize Dadaism, and along with it, photomontage, in Berlin. By repurposing photographs for collage, and thus manipulating accepted representations of reality, photomontage leant itself to satire and social commentary. Heartfield's work criticized capitalism and fascism, including the Nazi regime. Catalogue text in Hebrew; introduction in English.
