John Heartfield
Helmut Herzfeld changed his name to John Heartfield as a deliberate protest when he heard about the anti-British WWI German slogan "Gotte Straffe England" [God punish England].
He was inspired in part by front-line German soldiers evading censors by clipping bits of snapshots and photos sent with their letters home to compose his own photomontages. An excellent introduction and 17 images make this a very appealing site!
Josep Renau
An interesting look at a prolific artist who produced some very interesting politically/socially questioning images during the 1950's and 1960's regarding American self-concepts.
