After doing some research on one of the cooler dudes that I'm doing research on, John Heartfield, I realized that there is a connection between his work and some of the political cartoons that are so common in our newspapers today. Although Heartfield uses photo montage instead of cartoon drawings, the goal of the two forms are the same and that is to portray an overall message through image to provoke feelings that may not be obtainable by type. With political art forms like these, its a lot easier to let the audience interpret what they think the pieces mean rather than telling them what it means. This makes political art (and art pertaining to economics, social tendencies, etc.) more dynamic and easier to become involved with. Heartfield had some courage creating political propaganda against Hitler and for that i have nicknamed Heartfield as John "the cahones" Heartfield.
