Talk:John Heartfield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Musical references
Heartfield's Self Portrait is on the cover of Readymades (2002) by Chumbawamba and one of his works is used on System of a Down's eponymous debut (1998).
His art is also referenced quite frequently by Slovenian group Laibach ( I think they also did a song called Herzfeld ) Also the Prodigy had something similar to that "Iron has always made a nation strong, butter and lard have only made the people fat." quote in their "Fat Of The Land" album..though I don't know if this would be referencing Heartfield or Goering (which would have been a more recognisable figure?) 213.202.164.43 20:44, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- "Guns will make us strong, butter will only make us fat." - Quoted from Hermann Göring. :bloodofox: 06:06, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
The name "Helmut Herzfeld" is not correct - his real name is: "Wieland Herzfelde".
- Source? The authoritative Union List of Artist Names makes no mention of "Wieland", only variations of "Helmut" and "Helmuth" (citing Yale Dictionary of Art and Artists and the Grove Dictionary of Art). The Library of Congress Authorities site also has "Herzfeld, Helmut". Pinkville 16:11, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
