Yes, quite interesting. I was intrigued that he "was honored on a DDR stamp" but I found quickly why. "His art is art in Lenin's sense for it is a weapon in the revolutionary struggle of the proletariat." Louis Aragon. The link is above. This anti-Nazi fighter went after the war to... DDR, and then to the (East) Berlin. "Am 31. August 1950 kehrte Heartfield über Prag nach Deutschland zurück und ging in die DDR, wo er bis 1956 in Leipzig lebte... 1956 zog Heartfield nach Berlin und..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Heartfield And mo "A pacifist and Marxist, Herzfelde, changed his name to John Heartfield in 1916 in protest against German nationalism. After the war Heartfield joined the newly formed German Communist Party (KPD) and over the next fifteen years produces designs and posters for the organization." http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWWheartfield.htm Not a brave fighter for liberty, just a member of a gang who fought another one... -- Victor Manta ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
