“In 1916, when Johnny Heartfield and I invented photomontage in my studio at the south end of the town at five o'clock one May morning, we had no idea of the immense possibilities, or of the thorny but successful career, that awaited the new invention. On a piece of cardboard we pasted a mishmash of advertisements for hernia belts, student song books and dog food, labels from schnaps and wine bottles, and photographs from picture papers, cut up at will in such a way as to say, in pictures, what would have been banned by the censors if we had said it in words.” IfsWayMayHas BeensSaidBookIdeasEndsSongCareersMorningSuccessfulFivePiecesCuttingDogPossibilityStudentsPaperTownsWineSouthPhotographStudiosInventionLabelsNo IdeaClockBottlesImmensePapersBeltsAdvertisementsBannedSuccessful CareerNew InventionsDog FoodHerniasPaper Cuts Author:George Grosz
