Hurrah, the butter is gone!

The Seeds of Death
Why am I looking at John Heartfield's anti-Nazi propaganda posters? Because the May 2009 issue of Better Photography carried an article on photomontage featuring him, which made me go look him up. This month's love might just be too expansive to do away with on just the sidebar. More artwork here.
Also, it's exam time. This should be self-explanatory.
More wallowing-in-self-pity posts coming up. Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face and all that.
12 have survived.:
Wud u believe it? it's the second time in 10 hours that I've come across 'blood and iron'.
I assumed this had something to do with Hitler's death anniversary (a few days ago.)
The first image is brilliant.
i completely share this month's love with you...it's a song which cheers me up each time i'm down :)
and the posters are brilliant!
i love these.
this month's love is my love and yours.
you know this.
Like I said I like the butter one best.
It's amazing how much brilliant art Nazism has inspired. But I don't know, I prefer the more cheerfully irreverent and subversive dissents against the third Reich, as compared to, say, Heartfield's grim ironies. Things like Oskar sabotaging a goose-stepping rally with deliberately out-of-time beats in the Tin Drum, or Hynkel dancing with an inflatable globe to the tune of Lohengrin in the Great Dictator.
Just a personal preference, of course.
Wow.
Just, wow.
As Sryon says, the Nazis inspired a lot of good art. Funny thing, they spent a lot of time burning their ow. Irony, huh?
woah.
these are amazing.
word verification..keno?
khub irritating laage.
@ pom: no, i don't believe it. off with his head!
@ rfxl: it's possible, although i didn't know it was his birth anniversary, in which case his spirit's somewhere around making people do this nooooo
@ pound: :D
@ sambit: of course, and the toothy grin that follows the 'kaahe ghabraaye' :D
@ sroyon: i tend to love the ways in which realities (or fantasies, or anything else for that matter) are depicted, with the result that morbidity gets my vote as much as cheerfulness does, as long as the point gets across with a loud enough bang. just don't tell anyone i said this :P
@ dotl: uff, if people don't stop going wow i shall do something drastic now.
@ saha: yeah, hitler would've had a cow if he saw all the things that came of it :D
@ rupsha: mojar jonno. sometimes you get a funny wv :)
On a completely unrelated note, take a look at Uncyclopedia's take on Hitler.
I love The Tin Drum.(Also, Mister Pip now.) It depressed me though, I don't know why.
Send me your papers, pinka.
what, no, what if immigration finds out.
