The young graphic artist John Heartfield became world-famous in the 1930s for his biting political satires. He invented the photomontage. Using scissors and paper, he pointedly criticized the rise of the right, Hitler's war policy and fascism. JOHNNY & ME poses questions that are relevant again today: How much resistance does an artist need, and how much can art take?
