Photo Montage

A photo montage is putting a lot of images together to create a new and totally different picture











1- Hurrah, die Butter ist Alle! (In english: "Hurray, we have run out of butter")

Published in 1935


Denotations

Family, Weaponry, Steel/Metal, Hitler


Connotations


  • Swastikas all over the walls


  • Family forced to eat metal objects (even the dog)

    This photo is suggesting that Hitler and his generals are letting the German people go hungry and go to extremes because of it




2- "The Cross was not Heavy Enough"

Denotations

Jesus, Nazi, Metal, Heavy

Connotations

  • The Nazi is making Jesus suffer by making the cross heavier

  • The cross is now in the shape of a swastika


It looks like the Nazis are defying Christianity



3- "The meaning of the Hilter Salute"



Denotations

Death, Savagery

Connotaitons

  • A Soldier Dead
  • Arm raised to look like how people salute Hitler
  • Hitler's name is dripping blood

It is suggesting that people will die if they join Hitler's cause
