Mieczyslaw Berman was one of the most outstanding and most consistent Polish photo montage artists. He began his graphic work in 1927, illustrating the works of revolutionary writers. In that same year, he coincidentally came across the photo montage work of his colleague, Zygmunt Kamiński. He was already familiar with the photo montages of Moholy-Nagy and the Soviet artists Lissicki, Rodczenko, and Klucis and he was an admirer of the work of Heartfield, whose work influenced him greatly
