Kriebel, Sabine - Revolutionary Beauty : The Radical Photomontages of John Heartfield

Berkeley, University of California Press, 2014. Hardcover. Illustrated dj, maroon cover, foil lettering on spine. (xi), 336 pages : illustrations. This is a study of the German artist John Heartfield's political photomontages, published in the left-wing weekly Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung (AIZ) during the 1930s. It features the critical artistic practices with which Heartfield directly confronted the turbulent, ideologically charged currents of interwar Europe, exposing the cultural politics of the crucial historical moment that witnessed the consolidation of National Socialism. In this period of radicalization and mass mobilization, the medium of photomontage--the cut-and-paste assemblage of photograph and text--offered a way to deconstruct the visual world and galvanize beholders on a mass scale. Contents as follows: Introduction : photomontage, paradigm of the modern -- The subject in circulation -- Photomontage in the age of technological reproducibility -- Photomontage in the year 1932 -- Left-wing laughter -- Revolutionary beauty -- Epilogue : to gratify a wish.
