John Heartfield's poster attacking the press 1930, though assembled by hand is an example of modern design through montage and the loss of the integrated subject.

Lucian Bernhard's "poster for stiller shoes" simplistic style is consistent with modernism.

By the use of capital letter forms and little concern for bettering humanity, Carlo Carras "Parole in liberta" is not an example of modernism.

    All these sound interesting, and your comment about the Heartfield piece as montage especially so.
    We will talk tomorrow about designers getting interested in lower-case letters in Germany. - Liz
