The anti-Nazi poster boy

A retrospective exhibition of satirical anti-Nazi posters will be opening at the Four Corners Gallery in East London.

It is based on a set of posters by late German Dadaist artist John Heartfield, recently rediscovered in its original box in the Special Collections and Archives at Liverpool’s John Moores University.

Learning he was 5th on the Gestapo wanted list, Heartfield, born Helmut Herzfeld, escaped to Britain in 1938 where he was interned.
