I feel like we take these artist's techniques for granted, considering stuff like photoshop wouldn't come in until the very late 1900s, so it's impressive to see his editing skills put to amazing work. My favorite piece has to be the spread toast piece he did, looks really well put together honestly

legitimately one of the most under rated youtube channels i've come accross. i've never considred myself to be interested in art, but channels like yours have help me come to appreciate them more. thanks for all the work you put into the channel, hope to see more to come.

Thank you for helping me realize I love art. What you are doing is so important!

I'm glad I found this channel. Talking about art from a left-leaning lense is definitely something that fits all my niches.

It's so interesting that he would change his name in protest to anti-British sentiments. I've heard of American immigrants changing their names to to avoid anti-German sentiment, so something a bit like the reverse surprised me.

Thanks for introducing me to Heartfield's work. I can't believe that somehow I've missed it all these years. The impact of his work is staggering when you realize he was going up against the most monolithic human hate machine of modern times. Damn, that's absolutely heroic.

Hi! Can you pls do a video on the Australian gold rush painting 'Down On His Luck' it is my single most favourite Australian painting and its one of the most saddening paintings out there! As an Australia this will mean a lot to me and no one of UKposts has really done a break down of it! Thank you! Regards, Charles Begley

The balls to publish the art at this time. really really great

The image of John Heartfield cutting the Berlin police chief image and your description is by far one of the most interesting things I heard in a while. This channel is making art more interesting for me.

The way you make content - amazing! Thank you for such great topics in your videos.

The performance art by actress Kathy Griffith, where she held up the Trump mask, simulating a severed head, reminded me of Heartfield's 1929 self portrait.

Just found you on accident and I super adore this channel so far ! Getting my art nerding on, love it

i didn't know i needed a channel in my life that delved so deeply into historical art and taught me about the important cornerstones that came from it. as a long time artist who feels like they don't know enough about art history, you're extremely good at captivating me and making it easy to want to listen and learn. really enjoying all of the content i've been coming across from your channel. i hope you grow exponentially and get the recognition you've more than earned from all of the effort you put into these videos.

just got recommended to your channel today, and wow. i am so blown away, i look forward to watching your video essays for years to come! Also super excited about your artist residency project!! May it flourish in the coming months 🙏

Just found your channel recently, I've been loving the content. Thanks for the effort and great execution

Wish there were more channels like this. I've been searching for a long time. Love the content. Please keep it coming

Thanks for the video! I’m not only learning about artists and their paintings, in some videos I can really picture myself and compare the artists thoughts and your thoughts with my own thoughts about the world and the way I see things! I’m exploring my self and my inner thoughts and I’m learning a great deal about myself! Thanks again for the video😁

love your channel bro, 70k already is crazy.

tysm for this perfect video!! I am currently making a school presentation for english class about him since he was such a big inspo for me and the way he made his political art really spoke to me since nobody i knew was really into it. This video helped me group my thoughts so easily!! Definitely subscribing

Thank you for the amazing & informative videos, you always create informative, yet digestable and intriguing content!

This is my favourite video by you! Brilliant! ✊

Amazing channel, can’t wait to see your UKposts influence grow

Your narratives are absolutely brilliant! Have learned so much from watching your channel. Thank You for sharing your knowledge!🤙

Thank you for reminding me of Heartfelt! I was randomly assigned him as a pioneer of design back in my university days and the images I studied stick with me today.

Beautiful video, I love the art criticism with interspersed history

I got really into poster art & wheatpasting during the anti-war protests in the mid 00s and came across Heartfield's name. I remembered looking him up after SOAD's first album. Reading about a guy who made anti-authoritarian propaganda and had to jump out of a window to get away from the cops felt relatable. The phrase "the hand has five fingers, with all five you grab the enemy" is so powerful, its a call to action that demands my participation in the struggle 100 years later. His contributions are so under-appreciated and its a shame so many people have never heard of him. Thank you for this video.

This is an amazing channel wow!! Thank you! Right on man! ❣️Really interested in your artist residency!

C'est passionnant ! Depuis que je connais ta chaîne, je dévore les vidéos les unes après es autres. Merci beaucoup.

I feel like im learning so much from your videos. Its like a really interesting school lesson.

Amazing and very insightful!! Going to look up more of his work after this :)

Hey! I am loving your channel, your content is so well made. I humbly recommend the garden of earthly delights for one of your videos. It tells such a deep story.

Thank you. I'm new to this channel and I am eager to explore your videos

Love your videos! You definitely deserve more subs!

My photography course visited an exhibition with his art last year and it was incredibly interesting! One guy even did a project on him later that year!

Thank you--I did not know what Dadaism was. Great work here, by you and Heartfield. It made me wonder if Terry Gilliam was influenced by Heartfield, and it also reminded me that I created a photomontage in my early twenties, a scathing re-mix of a Virginia Slims advertisement. (You've come a long way, baby! Ha!)

This literally is my favorite channel for art.💙

thank you for making such interesting and instructive videos! thank god we still have some people who make those on youtube these days...

Man I'm so glad I found your channel

Thank you for doing this work. very important. Love this channel !!!

Will you also make videos about beksinski's art? love your content

I love love love your channel! Please keep the great content coming:)

I've discovered this channel lately and it sparkled an interest in me for paintings and stuff. This one is also a necessary political video. Congrats!

Interesting, thank you. Btw, Heartfield joined the KPD (Kommunstische Partei Deutschlands), not the 'KDP'.

Incredible showcase, story telling and execution of it all. I subscribed too. Hope you are doing well and are eager to make more of this great content.

i found out about your channel literally today and i’m so happy i did. the quality and research put into your videos are incredible and i can’t wait to see the channel grow

Never been here before but I’ll certainly be back. Fantastic presentation

Great video, glad to contribute

thankyou so much for making this video...made my final project for 12th grade on it and it turned out too good.

Excellent and well read video as always

congrats on 100k subs

I like and enjoy the information you provide of art and the artist as well thank you

Can you make a video about "The garden of earthly delights (hell)" painting? This thing is so interesting to me. I would like to know who made this creature and why. I would be so greatful, if you do so :))))

Well done! May we all keep fighting as long!✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼

Could you make a video on complete list of drawing materials and art genres (op art, futurism, retro - there are so many interesting types of visual forms) - just a beginner who is interested in the subject 😁😁

Just found the channel through this video :) I wonder if I can use any if Heartfields work as album cover art? Would be great to revive some of his images in these troubling times

I'm so glad I found your channel

So glad I got reccomended this channel. It's actually crazy how the photomontage of attention bombardment is just as relevant today as it was back then.

Thank you. Keep up your good work.

Great video! u should make one about Zdzisław Beksiński

Very good. Quite a discovery (the man and the channel).

Excellent piece!

Fantastic content. 👍

Thank you so much for your videos. They make me very relaxed but they also have showed me that art is still beautiful even after some trauma i got in Art School, and i really am thankful for this channel and all your work 💜

Very well done! Thank you for teaching me something today. 🙂

Thanks! Good content!

This artist reminded me instantly of the famous picture of Woody Guthrie in '43 -- 'this machine kills fascists' written on his guitar. It's sad, but Heartfield and Guthrie are still significant today.

Great presentation …good luck on the residency

Ho avuto la fortuna di vedere una mostra su J. Heartfield ( Herzfelde) a Londra nei primi anni '90. Le copertine di A.I.Z. ( rivista illustrata per i lavoratori) erano/sono straordinariamente efficaci ancora oggi.

This channel deserves millions of views, quality content, keep up the good work man, greetings from Argentina!

8:33 You ignored the best part of the "Sinn des Hitlergrußes" poster. "Motto: I am supported by millions" This pun is genius. Millions of what? Not Germans, as Hitler would claim, but millions of Mark from the capitalists bankrolling Hitler.

I'm 4 months late to the party and haven't been thru all the comments, but I would recommend looking at the influence JH had on British artist Peter Kennard. You may not recognise the name but I'm pretty sure you'll have seen some of his work.

Heartfiled is also one of my favourite artist, he is above art, above fight for manipulated people, above all criticism and every other "ism". So strong in his thoughts and so brave in his interpretations. Infinite glory ❤

Really great informative video

That magazine cover reminds me of this summers issue of 2600 where they made a mock ai generated set of images of SCOTUS judges

Loved this one young og

A great video lesson!

Pleas a video about Lascaux im so facinated about it

Extremely thoughtful 👏

One of my favorite artists as well.

2:27 May day communist party 5:33 propaganda Vs propaganda 7:22 the meaning of Geneva AIZ 9:40 socialism Vs fascism 11:50 Heartfield is still fighting

the quality of this art is outstanding

Knot seas canvas tears Thoughtful dissertation shown Heart outstanding lots #haiku #welldone

nice detail @ 3:12 ... sensitive drawing

I am 4 minutes in and fascinated, its like design school, but cooler.

Can I make a request. Can you do a picture/video of John Berger's Art of Seeing.

i love your chair. please dont change it. :)

4:00 Hey! That's where TMBG's *The Comunists Have the Music* music video got its art style!

wow very good video i didnt konw about Heartfield thank you

the self portrait remind anyone else of Judith beheading Holofernes? Is it an intentional reference?

can you give sources for your video? like books about the topic?

he was hard hitting, and still worthy work today.

I feel like his artstyle was picked up by later German satiricists. Especially the Titanic. I wonder if you know about them and how much they reflect Heartfield and satire in general.

I think that you should have added, that he also criticized the funding of the nsdap/hitler/nazi Party often. I feel you misrepresented the piece „millionen stehen hinter mir“, as it portrais that not millions of people were behind him, but millions of funding. This funding came mostly through German industry, but was ironically funded by US and UK involvement and business. This is also clear in his piece „wir beten an die Macht der Bomben“. I think heartfield was ahead of the times, and what he expressed way before the war started was neglected and kept going until the end of the war. And then it was supressed by the winning parties. Sutton wrote a book about the Financial involvements in the 70s i believe.

Now I finally understand the brutal truth about fascism. Thanks for your video!! Kind regards from Ásgeir in Iceland.

Discovered this channel today and totally fell in love with your videos!🤍 gotta watch them all ☺️

I read somewhere that during the war, many of these images were printed-up as postcard sized stickers and distributed to children.... who gleefully stuck them all over the place. A bit like what happens these days with tag/stickers.

Excellent, completely forgot about him... thanks!

this is so relevant in the post 2018 elections here in brasil

Is there an explanation somewhere on how he made his art?

In German school we do learn about some of his pictures but never about him as a person which is a shame
