See John Heartfield's riveting photomontages and book covers in this new exhibition drawn from the special collections of the Research Library at the Getty Research Institute.
Heartfield fought fascism with art, combining photographs and text into cannily subversive political images. His innovative compositions and his protests against war, the far right, and the exploitation of workers are still powerful today.
