How One Man Fought Hitler Through Propaganda

[@jojobizadTRASH]

I feel like we take these artist's techniques for granted, considering stuff like photoshop wouldn't come in until the very late 1900s, so it's impressive to see his editing skills put to amazing work. My favorite piece has to be the spread toast piece he did, looks really well put together honestly

[@spiralingspiral72]

more like specifically the 1990s, but I get your point

[@Peak_Palette]

one thing a lot of people dont realize is people back then still had tools to ake it faster and quicker. It may not of been modern technology but it was still technology of their time that made processes shorter, easier, and faster. A good example is an art tool called the Camera Ludica. They may not of had photoshop but they had things that worked just as well lol

@@Peak_Palette I didn't know illustrator is that old. It's interesting to see how adobe made 2 really banger products (PS and illustrator), then proceed to acquire virtually everything else to stifle competition. Also i want a camera lucida so bad, idk why lol.

legitimately one of the most under rated youtube channels i've come accross. i've never considred myself to be interested in art, but channels like yours have help me come to appreciate them more. thanks for all the work you put into the channel, hope to see more to come.

So heartwarming! With comment like yours, you can definitely expect more to come! Thank you!!

At first, I misread it as "Thank you for helping me realize I don't love art". Imagine such a commentary under a detailed and competent lecture video.

It's so interesting that he would change his name in protest to anti-British sentiments. I've heard of American immigrants changing their names to to avoid anti-German sentiment, so something a bit like the reverse surprised me.

[@Susie_Floozie]

Thanks for introducing me to Heartfield's work. I can't believe that somehow I've missed it all these years. The impact of his work is staggering when you realize he was going up against the most monolithic human hate machine of modern times. Damn, that's absolutely heroic.

The image of John Heartfield cutting the Berlin police chief image and your description is by far one of the most interesting things I heard in a while. This channel is making art more interesting for me.

[@habition]

i didn't know i needed a channel in my life that delved so deeply into historical art and taught me about the important cornerstones that came from it. as a long time artist who feels like they don't know enough about art history, you're extremely good at captivating me and making it easy to want to listen and learn. really enjoying all of the content i've been coming across from your channel. i hope you grow exponentially and get the recognition you've more than earned from all of the effort you put into these videos.

[@charlesbegley1527]

Hi! Can you pls do a video on the Australian gold rush painting 'Down On His Luck' it is my single most favourite Australian painting and its one of the most saddening paintings out there! As an Australia this will mean a lot to me and no one of KZbin has really done a break down of it! Thank you! Regards, Charles Begley

The balls to publish the art at this time. really really great

[@joiedevivre2005]

The performance art by actress Kathy Griffith, where she held up the Trump mask, simulating a severed head, reminded me of Heartfield's 1929 self portrait.

[@chiba_disk]

I got really into poster art & wheatpasting during the anti-war protests in the mid 00s and came across Heartfield's name. I remembered looking him up after SOAD's first album. Reading about a guy who made anti-authoritarian propaganda and had to jump out of a window to get away from the cops felt relatable. The phrase "the hand has five fingers, with all five you grab the enemy" is so powerful, its a call to action that demands my participation in the struggle 100 years later. His contributions are so under-appreciated and its a shame so many people have never heard of him. Thank you for this video.

[@oaktreesewede5152]

Thanks for the video! I’m not only learning about artists and their paintings, in some videos I can really picture myself and compare the artists thoughts and your thoughts with my own thoughts about the world and the way I see things! I’m exploring my self and my inner thoughts and I’m learning a great deal about myself! Thanks again for the video😁

Thank you--I did not know what Dadaism was. Great work here, by you and Heartfield. It made me wonder if Terry Gilliam was influenced by Heartfield, and it also reminded me that I created a photomontage in my early twenties, a scathing re-mix of a Virginia Slims advertisement. (You've come a long way, baby! Ha!)

Ho avuto la fortuna di vedere una mostra su J. Heartfield ( Herzfelde) a Londra nei primi anni '90. Le copertine di A.I.Z. ( rivista illustrata per i lavoratori) erano/sono straordinariamente efficaci ancora oggi.

[@etwasneues5754]

In German school we do learn about some of his pictures but never about him as a person which is a shame

[@monto39]

It's interesting how the word 'propaganda' has a strongly negative connotation now. It doesn't appear to have been so in the past. I like how this video goes into that concept. (I also happen to be a huge lover of WWII and cold war propaganda movies - every time I watch Edge of Darkness I'm ready to pick up a rifle and join Errol Flynn in fighting the Nazis myself!).

[@thegigi4109]

This artist reminded me instantly of the famous picture of Woody Guthrie in '43 -- 'this machine kills fascists' written on his guitar. It's sad, but Heartfield and Guthrie are still significant today.

Can I make a request. Can you do a picture/video of John Berger's Art of Seeing.

[@jonasvoss]

Just one small thing: It's KPD, not KDP :)

[@visualkickz]

I think that you should have added, that he also criticized the funding of the nsdap/hitler/nazi Party often. I feel you misrepresented the piece „millionen stehen hinter mir“, as it portrais that not millions of people were behind him, but millions of funding. This funding came mostly through German industry, but was ironically funded by US and UK involvement and business. This is also clear in his piece „wir beten an die Macht der Bomben“. I think heartfield was ahead of the times, and what he expressed way before the war started was neglected and kept going until the end of the war. And then it was supressed by the winning parties. Sutton wrote a book about the Financial involvements in the 70s i believe.
