Anti-art. Anti-war. Dada. 1916 was the founding year of the artists' group Dada, which intended to use “anti-art” as a weapon against the First World War. John Heartfield was “Monteurdada”. From 1930, using photomontages against war and NS terror, Heartfield designed the cover pages of the Arbeiter-Illustrierte-Zeitung, workers' illustrated news. In 1926, “photography as weapon” was the guiding motto of the German association of worker-photographers. Photomontages of today's worker photography have been created since the 1970s.
