Hitler Light

Photo Collages in Backlight Boxes (2013)		      
     
         
The year 2013 is the 80th anniversary of Hitler's appointment as German Chancellor. I believe it's time to study this person of historic importance from a light(er) side!

My photo collages in DIN A1 backlight boxes (33 x 23 inches) are foremost a homage to John Heartfield (1891-1968), a German Jewish artist who between 1918 and 1938 created extremely impressive and critical photo montages on Hitler and the National Socialists.

 

In those dark days, the situation for him as a Jew who had successfully escaped to Britain was very dire. Nowadays, in 2013, I as a Jewish artist am able to deal with Mister H. in a relaxed and humoristic manner.
