If you are in London this week a must visit is the Four Corners Gallery in Roman Rd E2 (Bethnal Green tube).

Until Saturday there is a free and quite extensive exhibition of the work of John Heartfield the German anti-Nazi and anti-war photomontage artist.

His images are not only relevant once again in 2020 unfortunately, but many will probably be familiar so widely copied are they.

Heartfield was 5th on the Gestapo’s wanted list when he fled Germany for Britain. He returned to the former East Germany after the war and died in 1968
