On the cut and past website my favorite dada artist is John Heartfield. I love how his pieces are all in black and white and have such a striking contrast with each other and within the piece. It may just be the reproductions on the computer but it is quite grainy as well. I actually really like the way it looks, I do not like the color in the other artists' work. It seems too.. I can't think of how to explain it actually. It's just not the right colors or the ones I would of chosen I suppose, I do not think the colors work very well together. Of course, that's just not how my style is and it does not truly appeal to me. I love Heartfield’s because his is straight and to the point. His work is commanding in presence and even though it is a collage it is fairly simplistic. The images are stark and powerful. They speak to me. I am interested in what his social causes are because of his work, whereas with the other artists on the site that has work posted I am not as interested, the work doesn’t appeal to me
I completely agree with you!!! his work has a message, unlike the rest of the artists on there.
