This title presents an exhibition that leads us through the origins of photo montage as an art form especially in Germany and the Soviet Union of the 20's, particularly the period between the wars.
More than 100 works on various subjects, artists and designers from ten countries. It includes photocollages and original models, posters, postcards, magazines and books.
In the hands of artists like El Lissitzky (1890-1941), Aleksandr Rodchenko (1891-1956) or Gustavs Klucis (1895-1938), photomontage became a powerful political weapon in the Soviet Union. Also German artists such as John Heartfield (1891-1968) and Max Burchartz (1887-1961) incorporated it into their work to criticize the National Socialist regime on the rise in the 30's.
