I thought the autobiography about Alexander Rodchenko that Sadia did was excellent due to it having information about his style and how he made his art. It also has a lot of information about his career from its early stages in painting to "making music albums, films and postures for advertisements such as propaganda."
I thought the autobiography about John Heartfield was also good because he was an assistant to a painter for two years before becoming a student at the School of Applied Arts in Munich. He later studied under Ernst Neuman at the arts and crafts school. He was drafted into the infantry during the First World War. After the war he joined the German Communist Party (KPD). He later attacked Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party using photomontage. He later went to England in 1938 and returned to Germany in 1950. in 1960 John became professor at the German Academy of Arts in Berlin.
All in all a good autobiography about this artist and it has much information about this artist and the photographs are good as well showing the skill of John Heartfield.
I thought the autobiography that Suraya did on Peter Kennard was very well done also. He began his career at thirteen and later became famous for making photographs that are "based icon/revolutionary of photomontage photography." "Peter is known his incendiary composite images such as the one featured in my assigned reading entitled--‘Photo Op’." The "picture shows a smiling/leering former British Prime Minister Tony Blair taking a picture of himself in front of an explosion. Obviously this piece in question isn’t real, the original picture of Blair has been doctored more specifically--it’s been superimposed onto a picture of a fiery explosion for shock-and-awe." I am impressed by Peter Kennard and that picture about former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and how he made it to be a fine work of art some may say.
I agree with Victoria I think that there are many similairities between between Alexander Rodchenko, Peter Kennard, and John Heartfield’s work (Photomontages). I also agree that every photographer or artist has some differences in their work than other photographers or artists.
I agree with Christine that Alexander Rodchenko, Peter Kennard, and John Heartfield's photomontages display a message that they wanted people looking at their photos to know about politics or society. I also agree that they wanted the people viewing their photos to know the meaning of the photograph and how they felt when making it and why people should look at their photographs.
I agree with Rebecca, every photographer has his/her own goals to send their message(s) to society through their photos. I also agree that photographers can achieve change through their photographs. I also look at the photos of these three photographers what other people will understand or learn through the photos when they look at them in the present and in the future.
All in all a great presentation I liked the pictures as they were the perfect photos for this presentation about Alexander Rodchenko, Peter Kennard, and John Heartfield’s photomontages and I liked them especially one one that Insulted Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party back in the 1930's. I am impressed by the autobiographies and appreciate you guys taking the time to talk more about each photographer in more detail. Good Job all of you a great presentation overall
