Hannah Hoch

Pretty Woman, 1920

           

Cut with the Kitchen Knife Dada Through the Last Wiemar Beer-Belly Cultural Epoch in Germany, 1919

For another class I have been looking a lot at the work of 1920s Dadaist, Hannah Hoch.  She was the only woman to be working among the German Dadaist's and I have really fallen in love with her work. She revolutionized the photomontage.  While her work is vastly different from anything I am doing, I am really intrigued in how she treats the female figure, and the fragmentation of it.  This is something I would like to explore further within my own work.
