The dadaism art was created by montaging images of a businessman handing out what appears to be money and Hitler.
The content in the image conveys a new political meaning as it shows that Hitler could have been funded by the Government. And an idea of ‘money fuelling political power’ and ‘the Nazi salute is a plea of cash.’ (Metmuseum.org n.d.)
The image has a relation to the idea towards appropriation with the aura of Hitler being destroyed as he is smaller than the “Government” who is stood behind him. And the context of the salute that Hitler is showing has been changed as now means that he is pleading for money instead of his power salute.
