Abstract
This short essay was originally prepared as a talk to be presented in the public programme to accompany the exhibition, John Heartfield. Fotografie plus Dynamit at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin in June 2020, (cancelled because of Covid-19 restrictions). It considers how graphic designers and political artists in Britain, from the Second War onwards, engaged with the work of Heartfield in their works.
