John Heartfield - Homages in Modern Culture

Homages in Modern Culture

Hurrah, die Butter ist Alle! served as the inspiration behind the song "Mittageisen" by Siouxsie and the Banshees; the song was re-recorded in German and released as a single with Heartfield's work as the cover art. The Swiss darkwave band Mittageisen (1981–1986) called themselves after this song title.

The band Blurt recorded a song called "Hurrah! Die Butter Ist Alle" on their 1986 album "Poppycock".

The British hardcore punk band Discharge used Heartfield's work "Peace and Fascism" for the cover artwork of their compilation "Never Again".

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or culture:

    To the modern spirit nothing is, or can be rightly known, except relatively and under conditions.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    ... there are some who, believing that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds, and that to-morrow is necessarily better than to-day, may think that if culture is a good thing we shall infallibly be found to have more of it that we had a generation since; and that if we can be shown not to have more of it, it can be shown not to be worth seeking.
    Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
