"Democrats Hunting Democrats"

Agit-Blog

Ben Heine is a provocateur! His cartoons recall John Heartfield's agitprop images, but created with a blogger's tools: political protest and activism as streaming poetic diary entries on the Web. Heine is a master of his craft. He draws on a variety of expressionist and surrealist role models, including George Grosz and René Magritte, and combines images, poems and essays with great virtuosity. This "hunting" scene in Iowa, which was commissioned as a book illustration, is given an unreal, nearly ghostly depth by the expressionless faces of the Christian hunters, the vanishing point of the lettuce fields, just out of view, and the iconographic elements such as weapons and cars. Hannah Arendt's banality of evil, transported to the American heartland.
