Global Art • 1930
German artist John Heartfield begins an eight-year association with the Arbeiter-Illustrierte Zeitung (Workers' Illustrated Newspaper, or AIZ), for which he creates dozens of photomontages, many of which ruthlessly satire Hitler and the Nazis.
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
