Photomontage Experimental Photography Between the Wars

"Photomontage was the innovation of John Heartfield and Georg Grosz, engineer-artists who in 1916 brought photographic images together according to new aesthetic rules. This collection shows the wide range of its application to revolutionary art and propaganda, advertising and graphic design, as photomontage was adopted as a primary means of visual expression by the leading avant-garde movements of the inter-war years". -Back cover.
