Photomontage- Team Kryptonite

A man named John Heartfield was known for his photomontage art when creating his pieces dealing with anti-Nazi graphic commentaries.  


Photomontage was developed in 1917 and was the manipulation of two or more different photographs, combining negatives and positives, to form a convincing new image.

Viktor Koen's photomontage is more of the twenty-first-century surrealism.  His images are at once apocalypic and utopian.  Some photomontage like this below is used currently for things such as advertising or even maybe on a CD cover.
