hannah hoch


Hannah Höch was born on November 1, 1889 and was a German Dada artist. She is best known for her work of the Weimar period, when she was one of the originators of photomontage. Women were used as a central theme in her work. Her latest piece combines images from news papers.

Her work is very randomised and irregular, however I particularly like this aspect and it leaves the images to the viewers mind so that they can make their own assumption about the art. Her photomontages do not seem to use bright colours, but the images themselves are eye catching and oddly positioned/put together making the images surreal.
