Through the use of the photomontage technique, Heartfield has created some very strong and clear imagery, that has been used to visually communicate his messages which was largely a reaction against The Nazis and WW2. His work included images of Adolf Hitler and Nazi symbols in a satirical and undermining way. His photomontages were often in the form of book covers and posters. Example of his work.
