A picture named staeck2.jpgCut & Paste. The German graphic designer Klaus Staeck.

Klaus Staeck is the “elder statesman” of post-war European political montage. If anyone has taken up the mantle of John Heartfield and single-mindedly devoted himself to the cause, it is Staeck. He is a man of many parts: lawyer, politician, organiser, publisher, author, and television contributor, but most of all, he is a political artist. For over 30 years he has made posters. In the tradition of early agitprop, he has taken his art onto the streets with postcards, stickers and flyers.

And here’s his homepage.
