Abstract
John Heartfield is widely-known for his anti-Nazi photomontages created in Germany during the 1930s and published in the Arbeiter-Illustrierte-Zeitung (AIZ). However, there is a subset of his images in which he celebrates the Soviet Union which are largely ignored in the scholarly literature dedicated to his work. In order to fully understand and analyze Heartfield's artistic practice, these often overlooked images, which tend to depict the Soviet worker as a heroic figure, should be considered in conversation with his images of the German worker.
